Last Updated:
Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena and Logan Paul unleashed a brutal sneak attack on Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso.
Held at the Dignity Health Arena in Bakersfield, California on June 6, the latest episode of the WWE SmackDown saw the final build-up towards the Money In The Bank. The competitors for the latest WWE Premier Live Event were finalised at an exciting SmackDown episode, where John Cena and Logan Paul dominated their MITB opponents after a brawl.
The Main Event segment of the WWE SmackDown witnessed the legendary John Cena and Logan Paul powering over Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso came down to the ring after facing an attack from Seth Rollins. Cena then entered the ring. Just as the undisputed WWE champion was being introduced in his inimitable style, Paul launched an attack against Jey Uso. Cena also led an assault on Rhodes, which resulted in the two men holding the upper hand versus their MITB opponents. They lifted the World Titles.
The SmackDown episode opened with Jimmy Uso beating JC Matteo after an interruption from Jacob Fatu. The intense game featured heavy moves by the two wrestlers but the Fatu versus Matteo altercation allowed Uso to roll Matteo up from behind and emerge victorious.
A non-title match between Zelina Vega and Piper Niven led to chaotic scenes. Niven had Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre by her side but Giulia evened the odds with a timely intervention. She took out Green, Fyre and Niven with a kendo stick. Trying to maximise the support, Vega aimed for a pin against Niven. But she managed to escape, leading a counterpunch for her victory.
Interference from Seth Rollins resulted in a disqualification in an otherwise captivating face-off between LA Knight and Aleister Black. Rollins tried attacking Knight before he was called out by the referee. Black stopped him but was himself taken down by a thunderous spear from Bron Breakker, who gave Knight the same treatment.
Next up was a triple tag team match between the competitors of the Women's Money in the Bank ladder encounter. Stephanie Vaquer, Rhea Ripley and Alexa Bliss took on Giulia, Naomi and Roxanne Perez. In another match that ended in chaos, Roxanne Perez attempted to tag Naomi with the latter refusing it. Perez consequently took the finisher from both Vaquer and Ripley as Mami executed a pinfall for her team.
A backstage altercation resulting in a tag team clash saw Andrade El Idolo pair up with Penta against the Creed Brothers. A classic game witnessed some memorable moments. Both teams landed heavy punches and the fortunes seemed even. But just then an interruption from Chad Gable followed as he tried to support his American-Made Faction before the wrestler was thwarted by his WWE x AAA World Collide opponent, El Hijo del Vikingo. That allowed Penta to hit the Creed Brothers for the win. But the winning duo also countered an attack from Seth Rollins.
