Drake’s Nexus: WWE SmackDown September 5, 2025 – 

Chicago’s Night of Legends


Tonight’s WWE SmackDown is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about episodes of the year—and it’s all going down at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois. The Windy City crowd is in for a rollercoaster of emotions, as legends, hometown heroes, and rivalries collide just two weeks before Wrestlepalooza.


John Cena’s Chicago Farewell


Chicago holds a special place in John Cena’s career—it’s where the journey began. Tonight marks his final appearance in the city where it all started. Fans can expect nostalgia, thunderous chants, and maybe even a confrontation that sets the stage for Wrestlepalooza. Will Brock Lesnar show up to spoil the moment?

CM Punk Returns Home


The voice of the voiceless is back in his hometown. CM Punk’s return to Chicago is always electric, but tonight it carries extra weight. After Becky Lynch’s attacks on Raw, Punk has unfinished business. Will he call out Seth Rollins and Becky face-to-face? And could this be the night AJ Lee finally returns to stand by Punk?

Sami Zayn – The New U.S. Champion
