— Here is tonight’s WWE Smackdown Live preview:
The New Day return to clash with Ziggler, Owens & Zayn
WWE Champion Kofi Kingston walked out of Super ShowDown with a win over Dolph Ziggler, but The Showoff immediately demanded a title rematch after Xavier Woods got involved. To prevent anyone from interfering in a potential rematch, Ziggler asked for a Steel Cage Match, and he will get his wish at WWE Stomping Grounds.
However, tonight on SmackDown LIVE, it will be three-on-three, as The New Day return at full strength to take on Ziggler, Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn in a huge Six-Man Tag Team Match. Big E is back from the knee injury that put him out of action and is ready to back up the WWE Champion and Woods, while Ziggler has found allies in KO & Zayn, who have no love lost with the pancake-loving trio.
Who will claim a monumental victory heading into WWE Stomping Grounds?
Will Roman Reigns respond to Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre?
Last night on Raw, Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre threw a Super ShowDown celebration to gloat over The Best in The World’s victory against The Big Dog last Friday in Jeddah. The Scottish Terminator also vowed to maim Reigns beyond recognition when the two clash at WWE Stomping Grounds on Sunday, June 23.
Will The Big Dog have anything to say in response?
Will R-Truth hang on to the 24/7 Championship?
R-Truth has made it out of some sticky situations while holding the 24/7 Championship, whether it was on the golf course, a flight over the Red Sea or being stuck in an elevator with his fellow Superstars.
With dozens of Superstars consistently on the hunt for him at all hours, will Truth make it through another night as 24/7 Champion?
Can Bayley bounce back from tag team defeat on Raw?
SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley had a rough go of it on Raw last night. Taking advantage of the Wild Card Rule, The Hugger arrived on the red brand to join forces with Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch to square off with their respective Stomping Grounds opponents — Alexa Bliss and Lacey Evans — in a champions vs. challengers tag team battle.
Unfortunately, Bayley came out on the short end, as The Sassy Southern Belle defeated her after knocking the champion out with a Woman’s Right. Can The Hugger bounce back as she prepares to battle The Goddess at WWE Stomping Grounds?
— Here is the official 205 Live preview:
Drake Maverick has a plan to determine Tony Nese’s next challenger
WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick took a break from his quest to find R-Truth and capture the 24/7 Championship to address his duties regarding the purple brand. Taking to social media, Maverick announced that he has a solution to settle who will be the next to challenge Tony Nese for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.
There are several Superstars who have proven themselves in recent weeks, including Akira Tozawa, Drew Gulak and Mike Kanellis, and despite Nese’s desire to face The Stamina Monster, Maverick has not named a challenger. This has led to complaints that Maverick has neglected his duties as General Manager in favor of the 24/7 Title hunt. To make good on his recent distractions, Maverick announced he is working on a special surprise for the very best of the Cruiserweight division.
Tune in to the most exciting hour of television, streaming live tonight at 10/9 C on the award-winning WWE Network.
