WWE SmackDown returns to the United States tonight as the road to Night of Champions continues from the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island. With both the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments reaching a crucial stage, several top stars will be looking to punch their ticket to the next round and move one step closer to championship opportunities. The blue brand is expected to be heavily focused on tournament action while also continuing several major storylines heading into the summer.

The featured match on the men’s side sees Finn Bálor compete in his first SmackDown match since being traded from Raw as he battles Jey Uso, LA Knight, and Royce Keys in a Fatal 4-Way King of the Ring Tournament Match. All four competitors bring unique momentum into the contest, making it one of the most unpredictable matches of the tournament so far. With no disqualifications in effect, outside interference and chaos could play a major role in determining who advances.

The women’s division will also take center stage as Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Lyra Valkyria, and Sol Ruca collide in a Fatal 4-Way Queen of the Ring Tournament Match. In addition, Gunther is scheduled to reveal the stipulation for his upcoming WWE Championship rematch against Cody Rhodes, adding another major development to an already loaded show. With Night of Champions quickly approaching, tonight’s SmackDown could have significant implications for WWE’s summer landscape.
