What time does WWE SmackDown start tonight? US, UK, India & more (November 28, 2025)

The upcoming epsiode of WWE SmackDown will be the go-home edition for Survivor Series: WarGames. However, the show was already taped last week in Denver, Colorado, due to Thanksgiving. The feuds and storylines saw one final build before tomorrow's marquee event in Petco Park and several major things happened on the show.
