Must-Watch Storylines on WWE SmackDown Tonight (January 10, 2025)

The stage is set for another thrilling episode of WWE SmackDown tonight as the Blue brand returns to the Moda Center. Following the success of Monday Night Raw’s debut, SmackDown is gearing up to deliver an exciting second episode of 2025. The storylines from last week’s show and Raw’s debut have ignited new rivalries and confrontations, making this episode unmissable. Here are the top five storylines you need to watch for on WWE SmackDown tonight.

1. WWE SmackDown Tonight: Michin’s Quest for the U.S. Title

The rivalry between Michin and Chelsea Green has been heating up, especially after their recent showdown at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Michin was close to becoming the first-ever Women’s United States Champion, but interference from Chelsea’s ally, Piper Niven, cost her the match. Last week, Michin took matters into her own hands by attacking Chelsea during her title celebration and even defeating Niven in a one-on-one match. Tonight, Michin is expected to challenge Chelsea for a rematch, hoping to finally claim the championship that slipped through her fingers.

2. Street Profits’ Confrontation with DIY

Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins (Street Profits) are on a mission to get answers after learning that Tomasso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano (DIY) were responsible for an attack that cost them a tag team title shot. Originally misled by Pretty Deadly, who claimed Los Garzas were behind the attack, the Street Profits targeted the wrong team. Now, they are ready to face DIY head-on. Expect a tense confrontation as the Street Profits demand an explanation and potentially a shot at the tag team titles.

3. Fallout Between Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton

Last week, Tiffany Stratton stunned the WWE Universe by cashing in her Money in the Bank (MITB) contract on Nia Jax, securing her first WWE Women’s Championship. The betrayal was shocking, especially since Stratton had earlier helped Jax retain her title against Naomi. After the cash-in, tensions between the two former friends are at an all-time high. Nia Jax will likely confront Stratton tonight, demanding a rematch and an explanation for her sudden betrayal.

4. Drew McIntyre Targets the OG Bloodline

Drew McIntyre is on a mission to take down every member of the OG Bloodline. After his brutal match against Jey Uso on Monday Night Raw, where he narrowly lost due to a roll-up pin, McIntyre’s frustration is evident. Despite his dominance in the match, he couldn’t secure the win, which has only fueled his determination. Expect McIntyre to continue his pursuit of the Bloodline, with a possible ambush on Jey Uso or Sami Zayn tonight on WWE SmackDown.

5. Tensions Rising in the New Bloodline

The fallout from Solo Sikoa’s defeat at the hands of Roman Reigns is creating cracks within the New Bloodline. Despite Sikoa’s leadership, his loss on Raw has raised questions about his ability to lead the faction effectively. The New Bloodline members have been unsuccessful in securing titles, which may lead to friction within the group. Tonga Loa, having recently lost his tag team titles, might question Sikoa’s focus on the OG Bloodline rather than their own faction’s success. Expect these internal struggles to come to light on WWE SmackDown tonight.
