WWE SmackDown is live tonight from the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island! Tonight, the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments continue, and Gunther chooses the stipulation for his upcoming rematch against Cody Rhodes. Let’s take a look at everything announced for tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown:
WWE SmackDown card: June 12, 2026
Jey Uso vs. LA Knight vs. Finn Bálor vs. Royce Keys (King of the Ring Tournament Match)
WWE’s official preview:
“Main Event” Jey Uso, LA Knight, Finn Bálor and Royce Keys are set to go to war in a Fatal 4-Way King of the Ring Tournament Match.
Uso and Knight are focused on winning the prestigious tournament, though the two Superstars have recently been at each other’s throats. For weeks, The Megastar has been badmouthing World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, drawing ire from The OTC’s cousin.
The Prince is looking to become king to earn a World Title opportunity at SummerSlam and finally claim his first World Title since 2016.
One of the most dominant up-and-coming Superstars on SmackDown, Keys is a powerful competitor seemingly born to be a king.
Who will seize the final first-round victory and advance to the King of the Ring Semifinals?
Lyra Valkyria vs. Sol Ruca vs. Jade Cargill vs. Charlotte Flair (Queen of the Ring Tournament Match)
WWE’s official preview:
Women’s Intercontinental Champion Sol Ruca, Charlotte Flair, Lyra Valkyria and Jade Cargill are set to battle in a Fatal 4-Way Queen of the Ring Tournament Match.
On Monday, Ruca successfully defended her title for the first time when she defeated Valkyria, who was visibly upset by the loss. Will she use the Fatal 4-Way as an opportunity to target the champion?
Cargill won the tournament last year, and becoming the first two-time Queen of the Ring would give The Storm another championship match after she fell short in her attempt to reclaim the WWE Women’s Title from Rhea Ripley at WWE Clash in Italy.
Flair is a 14-time Women’s Champion and one of the most dominant Superstars in WWE history and has recently been at odds with Cargill, Michin and B-Fab while forming an alliance with The Eradicator.
Could we see Cargill use her dangerous cohorts to neutralize Flair? Will Ripley and the recently injured Alexa Bliss have anything to say about that?
Who will seize the final first-round victory to advance to the Queen of the Ring Semifinals?
Gunther chooses the stipulation for his WWE Championship match
WWE’s official preview:
Gunther is once again coming for Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
What stipulation will The Ring General choose for his title showdown against The American Nightmare? How will Rhodes respond?
