WWE SmackDown airs next Friday, June 12, from the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island, with Gunther set to reveal his stipulation for a rematch against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. The rematch is booked for June 19 in Kansas City.
Also confirmed: the final first-round Fatal 4-Ways for both tournaments. King of the Ring: Jey Uso vs. LA Knight vs. Royce Keys vs. Finn Balor. Queen of the Ring: Sol Ruca vs. Lyra Valkyria vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Jade Cargill.
From tonight’s SmackDown in Bologna, Italy: Gunther opened the show demanding a rematch, tearing apart the commentary tables. He and Rhodes brawled, with Sami Zayn getting caught in the middle. In the main event, Dominik Mysterio won the King of the Ring Fatal 4-Way after Liv Morgan low-blowed Damian Priest, allowing Mysterio to hit the 619 and Frog Splash. Raquel Rodriguez won the Queen of the Ring first-round match on the same show, with Kiana James turning on Giulia in the process. Chad Gable returned to SmackDown as himself and apologized to Rey Fenix for making a “mockery of lucha libre” with the El Grande Americano character.
