WWE SmackDown March 14 Results, Grades and Analysis  

WWE visited Olimpic Arena in Barcelona, Spain for the March 14th episode of WWE SmackDown. The show featured a Miz TV segment with Cody Rhodes as the special guest. The Road to WrestleMania progressed on the first-ever SmackDown in Barcelona. Let’s head towards the details of WWE SmackDown March 14 Results.  

US Title Bedlam 

The show kicked off with the newly crowned US Champion, LA Knight. There were “Olé” chants followed by “You Deserve It” chants. Knight was excited after the warm reception and talked about gaining back the US Title. Before he could say much, Jimmy Uso came out. Uso talked about how he’s desperate and wants to challenge Knight at WrestleMania for the US Championship.  

The Bloodline interrupted and Solo demanded a US Title match for Jacob Fatu. Jimmy teased Solo about his loss at the debut episode of WWE Raw on Netflix. The Bloodline rushed to the ring and attacked Jimmy and Knight. Braun Strowman made the save. Nick Aldis came out and started a six-man tag match right there. 

Grades: B- 

Analysis: It was a decent segment to kick off the first-ever SmackDown in Barcelona. WWE could have gone with a slightly better option though. It was soothing to see Jimmy Uso getting involved in a meaningful story after a long time. The US Title picture looks interesting and multiple talents are chasing the championship on the Road to WrestleMania 41.  

The Bloodline vs LA Knight, Jimmy Uso, and Braun Strowman  

The match was already in progress after the commercial break. Solo landed a spinning slam on Jimmy followed by a senton by Tonga. Uso made a much-awaited tag to Knight. The US Champ laid down The Bloodline. A distraction by Sikoa allowed his side to take control again and they dominated Knight for quite some time. 

Strowman finally got the tag and he took out everyone at ringside. Jimmy and Knight landed dives on Fatu and Sikoa at ringside. In the ring, The Monster brought home the win with a Running Powerslam on Tonga. The Bloodline executed a post-match attack, mostly targeting Strowman. 

Winners: Braun Strowman, Jimmy Uso, and LA Knight  

Grades: B 

Analysis: It was a fine six-man tag team action. The crowd was into it and we heard multiple chants throughout the match. The US Title scenario will be interesting in the coming weeks. It looks like Fatu and Strowman aren’t finished yet.  

Charlotte Flair vs B-Fab  

The match was The Queen’s domination as she mocked the crowd that chanted “Please Retire” for her. B-Fab tried to fight back with a roundhouse kick and a pump kick but Flair took her down with a boot to the face. In the end, Flair delivered a Natural Selection and applied Figure Eight for the victory.  

Flair continued the submission hold after the match before Tiffany Stratton arrived. The WWE Women’s Champion and the challenger engaged in an intense brawl. Both dropped each other before the security officials separated the two.  

Winner: Charlotte Flair  

Grades: C 

Analysis: It was a short match but the post-match angle was interesting. Flair works best as a heel and this was a glimpse of that.  

Miz TV with Cody Rhodes 

Before The Miz could introduce his show, the camera cut to backstage where Tiffany and Charlotte continued to fight. Stratton leaped off a screen onto everyone before cutting back to the A-Lister. Miz introduced Cody Rhodes with a little tease of what happened at the Elimination Chamber.  

The Undisputed WWE Champion made his entrance to an electric crowd reaction. Miz cut short Cody’s entrance which infuriated the American Nightmare. Rhodes delivered a Cross Rhodes to Miz. Cody grabbed the mic and said that he’d only talk to John Cena. 

Grades: B 

Analysis: It was a quick fun segment. The Miz makes a must-watch TV during Miz TV segments. They hyped the upcoming Raw as Cody and Cena will be face-to-face for the first time.  John Cena’s heel turn on WWE Elimination Chamber is the best thing happen to WWE right now.

Shinsuke Nakamura vs Damian Priest  

A little backstage segment carried into this match. Priest threw Nakamura around in the ring and attacked him on the barricade at ringside. Shinsuke fought back with a leaping knee strike. Nakamura landed an enzuigiri but Priest soon replied with a Falcon Arrow. Shinsuke applied the armbar but Damian escaped.  

Drew McIntyre appeared at ringside. The distraction allowed Nakamura to gain a nearfall. Priest delivered a South of Heaven. McIntyre attacked Priest and the match ended in disqualification. Drew gave Shinsuke a chance and he landed a Kinshasa.  

McIntyre attacked Priest with steel steps and delivered a Claymore Kick in the ring.  The rivalry which started at WWE Royal Rumble 2025 is slowing gaining momentum.

Winner: Damian Priest by DQ. 

Grades: B 

Analysis: Drew McIntyre got his sneak attack on Priest and the build is on for a showdown at the Grandest Stage of Them All. We heard rumors of Nakamura’s WWE contract expiring and it looks like he will be used as a jobber in the coming weeks.  

Randy Orton vs Carmelo Hayes  

The crowd loved The Viper’s entrance. Orton delivered punches in the ring before slamming Hayes onto the announcer’s table a couple of times at ringside. Orton delivered a Power Slam in the ring. Hayes hit a kick and a springboard DDT for a two-count.  

Randy delivered a superplex from the top rope followed by RKO for the victory. Orton picked Hayes up and showed some respect but Melo had nothing to do with it. This infuriated The Apex Predator who delivered another RKO and prepared for the Punt Kick. Kevin Owens rushed to the ring and pulled Hayes out of the ring.  

Winner: Randy Orton  

Grades: B+ 

Analysis: Randy Orton is back better than ever and looked in great rhythm throughout the match. This story revolves around the Punt Kick and WWE won’t give us one until WrestleMania.  

Gunther vs Axiom 

The World Heavyweight Champion Gunther teased the crowd with their arch nemesis in football, Madrid. After a bit of trash-talking about his WrestleMania opponent, Jey Uso, The Ring General provided an opportunity to the Spanish star Axiom. The NXT Superstar made his entrance for the match.  

The NXT tag team champion tried to fight but got laid out by Gunther with a chop. Axiom kicked out of a powerbomb. He later executed a hurricanrana off the top rope on Gunther for a two-count. In the end, The Ring General finished the match with a powerbomb and two vicious lariats.
