WWE SmackDown Results 6/12 - Paige & Brie Bella Face Fatal Influence, GUNTHER Appears

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE SmackDown" on June 12, 2026, coming to you from the Amica Mutual Pavillion in Providence, Rhode Island!

With GUNTHER having previously unsuccessfully challenged Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in controversial fashion at WWE Clash in Italy on May 31, he employed his legal team to secure him another rematch during last Friday's episode of "SmackDown" and told "SmackDown" General Manager Nick Aldis that he had a condition he wouldn't reveal. Tonight, he will be revealing the condition that he has for his Undisputed WWE Championship rematch.

Women's Tag Team Champions Paige and Brie Bella will be going head-to-head with Fatal Influence members Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley in non-title action. Reid, Henley, and their stablemate Jacy Jayne encountered Paige and Brie backstage in the middle of an attack last Friday and launched an attack on them, with Jayne having lost a First Round Fatal Four-Way Match for the 2026 Queen of the Ring Tournament to Raquel Rodriguez of Judgment Day earlier that same night.

Speaking of the 2026 Queen of the Ring Tournament, Jade Cargill, Women's Intercontinental Champion Sol Ruca, Lyra Valkyria, and Charlotte Flair will be squaring off against one another in a First Round Fatal Four-Way Match. Meanwhile, Royce Keys, Finn Balor, Jey Uso, and LA Knight will be colliding against one another in a First Round Fatal Four-Way Match for the 2026 King of the Ring Tournament. The winner of tonight's Fatal Four-Way First Round King of the Ring Tournament match will face Je'Von Evans in the semifinals, with former NXT Champion Oba Femi taking on AAA Mega Champion and Judgment Day member Dominik Mysterio on the other side of the bracket in the semifinals. IYO SKY and the aforementioned Rodriguez will also be squaring off against one another in the semifinals of the Queen of the Ring Tournament, while the winner of tonight's match will be going head-to-head with Women's World Champion and fellow Judgment Day Liv Morgan on the other side of the bracket.

Jey promises that he's going to win his First Round Fatal Four-Way Match King of the Ring Tournament and challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship when he wins the whole thing, but Rhodes tells Jey to make sure it's his choice to challenge him rather than Roman Reigns' choice.

Zayn thanks Gargano for the advice despite LeRae being the one who he should thank seeing as she's the one who said it. 

Zayn then makes his way out to the ring.

Zayn says it's a little bit of a strange reaction from the live crowd. He says he's not comparing the European crowd to the American crowd, but the ride or dies in Europe showed up in full force for him. He says the live crowd can look sour and boo him, then calls Cody Rhodes to the ring.

Rhodes' music hits and he makes his way out. He asks Providence what they want to talk about, but Zayn stops Rhodes and asks him to be his friend for one moment in order for them to have an honest conversation. He says there's been a series of misunderstandings, then says he's tried to help Rhodes on multiple occasions and says at a certain point, he's had to question if it's all been accidental.

Rhodes says this is the professional wrestling and says Zayn's new shirt calling him "the last real good guy" is something that he believes more than Zayn. He says they shouldn't be standing in the ring and recalls standing in the ring with Zayn at WWE WrestleMania 40, but Zayn recalls being the first person to join Rhodes in the ring and emphasizes that he's a good guy.

Rhodes says he wasn't able to be honest enough, but Zayn invites Rhodes to be honest with him.

We then head over to the men's locker room, where Jacob Fatu comes face-to-face with Solo Sikoa. Fatu says it's time for Sikoa to come home per Roman Reigns wants, but Sikoa calls Reigns' home a dog house and asks Fatu what happened to him. He says Fatu used to be the "Samoan Werewolf", but now he's under Reigns' thumb and says Reigns has done nothing but embarrass him. Fatu tells Sikoa that if he won't join Reigns, then himself, The Usos, and Reigns will be coming for him. Sikoa responds by saying Reigns can come and get him if he wants.

Back from the break, Trick Williams and Lil Yachty make their way out. 

Yachty looks to give a grand introduction to Williams, but Williams stops him and says he has something to get off his chest. Yachty becomes frustrated with Williams not wanting to party, but Williams says the truth of the matter is that he lost his First Round Fatal Four-Way Match for the 2026 King of the Ring Tournament to Dominik Mysterio last Friday. He says it woke up something in him and lit a fire in him that made him want to step his game up, then says people are asking who will be the man to carry "SmackDown".

Williams says he's the leader of the new school and says although he lost last Friday, he's still the United States Champion. Ricky Saints' music cuts him off and he makes his way out. Carmelo Hayes' music plays immediately after and he storms past Saints on the entrance ramp to make his way to the ring. Saints beats Hayes inside the ring, but Hayes says Saints needs to be cut out of the picture. He says he was handling business with Williams, but asks Williams why he's avoiding putting the United States Championship on the line against two guys who are working hard.

Michin levels Green with a clothesline, then delivers a hurricanrana to her back from the break off the top rope.

After the match, Michin, B-Fab, and Cargill continue to beat down Stratton. Cargill lands a Jaded on Stratton and holds up her Women's United States Championship.
