WWE SmackDown Results 6/13 - Four More First Round King & Queen Of The Ring Matches, Naomi Appears
Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE SmackDown" on June 13, 2025, coming to you live from the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky!
Roxanne Perez and Sami Zayn both advanced in the Queen Of The Ring and King Of The Ring Tournaments respectively this past Monday on "WWE Raw" when they won a pair of Fatal Four-Way First Round Matches. The next four competitors across both tournaments will be determined tonight as Charlotte Flair squares off with Candice LeRae, Alexa Bliss, and Chelsea Green while Jade Cargill collides with Michin, Nia Jax, and Piper Niven in a pair of Queen Of The Ring Tournament Fatal Four-Way First Round Matches. In the King Of The Ring Tournament, Cody Rhodes, Andrade, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Damian Priest will be going head-to-head with one another in a King Of The Ring Tournament Fatal Four-Way First Round Match, while Carmelo Hayes, LA Knight, Aleister Black, and Randy Orton face off with one another in another one.
Naomi defeated the aforementioned Perez and Bliss, Rhea Ripley, Stephanie Vaquer, and Giulia in the 2025 Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match to become the new briefcase holder this past Saturday at WWE Money In The Bank. Following such, she will be appearing on tonight's show with something on her mind to share as she weighs in when to cash in her briefcase and which title to go after.
Speaking of Money In The Bank, Solo Sikoa looked to become Mr. Money In The Bank when he participated in the 2025 Men's Money In The Bank Ladder match. However, he was ultimately unsuccessful in doing so after his longtime ally and cousin Jacob Fatu turned his back on him by pulling him off a ladder and launching an attack on him. In light of such events, the reigning United States Champion will be appearing on tonight's show with something on his mind to share.
Additionally, John Cena will be making an appearance with something on his mind to share after coming face-to-face with longtime rival CM Punk this past Monday on "Raw" and agreeing to put his Undisputed WWE Champion on the line against him at WWE Night of Champions on June 28.
We are live! Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore greet audiences at home as John Cena makes his way to the ring.
We Hear From John Cena
Cena says he takes up all four spots on the Mount Rushmore of great wrestlers, then says no one in the past, present, or future is comparable to him. He says the reason he will always outmaneuver everyone isn't because he will never give up, but because he's smarter. He says everyone wants to be him, then says he announced his retirement a year early so he can scout out his most worthy opponents. He says he knew he could use his seniority to earn a spot in the 2025 Men's Elimination Chamber and knew exactly how his opponents would act in the match, as well Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Ron Killings.
Cena calls himself the Greatest Of All Time, then continues ragging on the fans for coming up fake stories about selling his soul.
