WWE SmackDown Results 6/5 - King & Queen Of The Ring Tournaments Continue, More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE SmackDown" on June 5, 2026, coming to you from the Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy!

The King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments are set to continue, as Jacy Jayne of Fatal Influence, Kiana James, Raquel Rodriguez of Judgment Day, and Bayley square off against one another in a First Round Fatal Four-Way Match for the 2026 Queen of the Ring Tournament. United States Champion Trick Williams, AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio, one half of the World Tag Team Champions Damian Priest, and The Vision's Bron Breakker face off against one another in a First Round Fatal Four-Way Match for the 2026 King of the Ring Tournament. Oba Femi defeated Solo Sikoa, Intercontinental Champion Penta, and Carmelo Hayes in a Fatal Four-Way First Round Tournament for the King of the Ring Tournament on this past Monday's episode of "WWE Raw", while IYO SKY emerged victorious against Lash Legend of The Irresistible Forces, Giulia, and Roxanne Perez in a Fatal Four-Way First Round Tournament for the Queen of the Ring Tournament that same night.

Speaking of Hayes, he met Ricky Saints in the ring during last Friday's "SmackDown". However, the match ultimately ended in a double countout after the action spilled out of the ring and Saints had sent Hayes crashing into the ring steps. This led to the two men continuing to brawl with one another in the moments that followed the match, and tonight, they will be going head-to-head with one another in a rematch.

GUNTHER challenged Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WWE Clash in Italy this past Saturday, but was ultimately unsuccessful in doing so when the referee missed his foot under the ropes as Rhodes had him pinned. Following such, Rhodes will be making an appearance on tonight's show.

Additionally, Women's Champion Rhea Ripley will be appearing on tonight's show after retaining her title against Jade Cargill at Clash in Italy.

We are live! The show kicks off with a video recapping some of the events from WWE Clash in Italy.

Michael Cole and Wade Barrett then greet audiences at home, but an irate GUNTHER interrupts them and throws the logo of the Italian and English announce desks. He throws one of the office chairs and wires, then grabs a microphone and says he wants justice for what happened to him at Clash in Italy against Cody Rhodes in their Undisputed WWE Championship match. He says everyone saw what happened when he put his foot under the rope while Rhodes had him pinned and the referee missed it, then says Rhodes has what's rightfully is.

Rhodes' music hits and he makes his way out. He admits GUNTHER is right, then says he's all upset about having a controversial loss. He says sometimes one is the hero who says all the piggies from the sausage maker and other times you're the piggy, then says if GUNTHER wants a rematch for the Undisputed WWE Championship, they can do it right here and right now.

Sami Zayn's music hits and he makes his way out. He thanks the Italian ride or die fans for the warm reception and says it's the kind of respect he's been looking for, then says he was trying to stay in the back without getting involved. He says at a certain point, he couldn't hear GUNTHER complain anymore. He says he knows how GUNTHER feels and says Rhodes is ready to fight as always, but they're both ignoring the fact that they did him wrong.

GUNTHER says none of this involves Zayn and tells him to be quiet down, and while Zayn admits he's never been a World Champion, he knows a thing or two about beating GUNTHER for a title. Rhodes asks Zayn which version of himself is present in the ring right now. Zayn says their friendship is in the state it's in because Rhodes is always blowing him off and looking past him rather than talking to him, then tells him to look him in his eyes right now. Zayn says Rhodes promised to beat GUNTHER and teach him a lesson, but he never actually did teach him a lesson.

GUNTHER slides into the ring and sends Rhodes crashing into Zayn. He cinches in a sleeper on him, but Zayn goes after GUNTHER. GUNTHER sends him crashing out of the ring and exchanges right hands with Rhodes, but Zayn pulls GUNTHER out of the ring and fires off right hands on him. Rhodes looks to land a dive on GUNTHER through the middle rope, but ends up hitting Zayn. Rhodes then extends his hand to Zayn, but Zayn brushes him off and heads to the back.

We then head backstage, where The Miz stumbles across Danhausen's lab and finds the covered human size object. Danhausen walks in with an espresso in hand and tells The Miz not to touch it, but The Miz opts to touch a piece of equipment in Danhausen's lab and gets zapped. Instead of helping The Miz, Danhausen finds a piece of food and eats it.

Back at ringside, Raquel Rodriguez makes her way out. Kiana James (who insists on having Giulia with her), Bayley, and Jacy Jayne all follow.

Rodriguez powerbombs Bayley on top of Jayne, then lands a double chokeslam on both women and pins them. James breaks the fall by flying into the ring from the ring apron.

Back from another break, Rodriguez levels James with a clothesline and pins her. Jayne breaks the fall with a running knee, then rains down right hands on James and sends her crashing into the mat face first.

After the match, Giulia helps James up. James tells Giulia to get off her and blames Giulia for her loss, then shoves her and continues to berate her. Giulia pounces on James and rains down right hands on her, then lands a single leg dropkick on her to send her crashing out of the ring.

We then head backstage, where we see an irate Sami Zayn looking for Johnny Gargano in order to vent to him once again about what happened to him earlier tonight. Nick Aldis stumbles across the pair, then tells Zayn to stay out of Cody Rhodes and GUNTHER's business. He says Zayn made a bad situation worse, but Zayn asks Aldis what's so important that he can't even get a minute with him. Chad Gable walks in and heads into Aldis' office with him for a conversation.

Back from the break, MFT makes their way to the ring. Royce Keys follows.

After the match, MFT continues to attack Keys. R-Truth runs out to the ring to come to Keys' aid, but Tama fires off stomps on Truth.

Back at ringside, Rhea Ripley makes her way to the ring wearing a wrap around her right knee.

Ripley greets Bologna and says she finally put the Jade Cargill chapter behind her at Clash in Italy. She says she didn't come out completely unscathed and says her right knee is a little bit banged up, then says Cargill came into Clash in Italy with a game plan to try taking her out and use the numbers against her with B-Fab and Michin. She says Cargill failed to take her out and says she's still the Women's Champion, then says she had a nice unexpected friend in Charlotte Flair to come and help her out.

Flair's music hits and she makes her way out. She says she knows Ripley didn't ask for her help, but she had Ripley's back because she respects her. She admits she's had fun teaming up with Ripley over the last few weeks and enjoyed getting a tattoo with Ripley in Italy, but the 2026 Queen of the Ring Tournament is underway and says Ripley still has what she wants because she plans on challenging her for the Women's Championship at WWE SummerSlam on August 1 and 2.

Tiffany Stratton's music hits and she makes her way out. She says if someone were to tell her that they would be at ringside without brawling with Flair, she would've called them crazy. Flair asks Stratton if she plans on apologizing for her, but Stratton says she's not in the ring for Flair but for Ripley. She says she may be Women's United States Champion, but she also wants the Women's Championship.

Cargill's music hits and she makes her way out along with B-Fab and Michin. Cargill says Ripley, Stratton, and Flair look stupid and says Flair didn't save Ripley but still put herself next in line. She points out what happened to Alexa Bliss at Clash in Italy, then tells Ripley to enjoy her Women's Championship.

Cargill, Michin, and B-Fab storm to the ring, but Nick Aldis stops them. Flair asks for a tag team match pitting herself and Stratton against Cargill and either Michin (who is dressed in ring gear) or B-Fab, and Aldis makes it official.
