Gunther’s condition and tournament matches headline Providence show
Summary
– WWE SmackDown on June 12 will feature Gunther revealing his condition for a Cody Rhodes rematch
– The King of the Ring tournament continues with Jey Uso, LA Knight, Royce Keys, and Finn Balor in a Fatal Four-Way
– Sol Ruca, Lyra Valkyria, Charlotte Flair, and Jade Cargill will compete for the final Queen of the Ring semifinal spot
WWE SmackDown is set for a major night on June 12 as the road to Night of Champions continues.
The show will air from the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island. SmackDown starts at 8 p.m. ET on USA Network, with on-demand viewing also available after the broadcast.
One of the biggest stories going into the show is Gunther’s response to Cody Rhodes. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis previously revealed that Gunther is willing to accept Rhodes’ rematch challenge, but only under a specific condition.
That condition was not revealed last week. Gunther is now scheduled to explain what he wants before agreeing to face Rhodes again.
The King of the Ring tournament will also continue with a final first-round match. Jey Uso, LA Knight, Royce Keys, and Finn Balor will meet in a Fatal Four-Way match, with the winner moving on to the semifinals.
The Queen of the Ring tournament will also feature its final first-round match. Sol Ruca, Lyra Valkyria, Charlotte Flair, and Jade Cargill will battle for the last remaining semifinal spot.
Both tournament matches carry major stakes as WWE builds toward Night of Champions. The winners will move one step closer to earning a major opportunity later this month.
Cody Rhodes is also expected to be part of the show as his issue with Gunther continues. Their next step could become clearer once Gunther reveals his condition.
International fans will also be able to watch SmackDown through supported streaming platforms, including Netflix in select markets.
With tournament action, title-related drama, and the next development in the Cody Rhodes and Gunther story, SmackDown has several key pieces in place for June 12.
