6/13 WWE SmackDown Live Results – Welcome to WrestlingAttitude’s live coverage of WWE SmackDown on June 6, from the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky.
We are live from the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, as John Cena makes his way to the ring to start the show.
John says Wrestling’s Mount Rushmore is John Cena, John Cena, John Cena, and John Cena. He says there have been great wrestlers and great talkers. There has been no one in the past, present, or future comparable to him. The very reason he will always outmaneuver you is not because he will never give up. It is because he is smarter than you. You can’t see me, y’all want to be me. If you are home or mesmerized by me in this arena, he is always a thousand steps ahead of you because you are worried about right here and right now. I went over this moment a year ago. He made his announcement early to plan six months in advance. He got into the Rumble, but if he didn’t win, he would get into the Chamber. He knew that Punk and Rollins would deal with each other. He used everything Cody believes in to win the title. He used a 25 year old rivalry to beat Randy Orton in his home town. He put R-Truth in the main event so you would care.
While you tried to save R-Truth, he joined forces with Logan Paul to prepare for CM Punk. He says he used Punk’s rebellious nature to back him in a corner. If he wants this, Punk has to admit he is a hypocrite. He does not care about Mr. Money in the Bank because Seth will never cash in on him. Seth wants him to leave with this. When he cashes in, he will be the only champion. Cena says he is the greatest of all time for a reason.
While you have been busy using your pathetic brains making up fake stories, I have been putting the math in my favor. I am winning a match before it starts. I have put together every puzzle and cracked every code. You won’t realize how great I am until I have been gone for three years. This is the greatest moment of your lives but to me, you are a mathematical equation. There will be no one who earns the right to touch this again.
Cody Rhodes’ music plays and he comes out.
Cody asks Cena what did he just say? That he is a thousand steps ahead? You aren’t smart, you are a genius. Everything you have said has come to fruition. Here you are with this twenty-five year master plan. There is a variable you didn’t account for. Why didn’t you include the simple fact that this past Saturday you were looking at the lights and I was pinning you in the center of this ring? Cody says he is not part of John’s plan. John is part of his.
Cody asks John Rushmore where does that leave them?
Randy Orton’s music plays and he makes his way to the ring.
Randy says that anyone who watched them wrestle in St. Louis saw him beating Cena. Then someone came to save the day. Randy says he realizes he has to do whatever it takes. I will go through whoever I have to in order to get 15. Even if I have to win King of the Ring. He tells Cody he loves him like a brother and Cody knows that. He says if he has to put his ass down to get to that punk, he will not hesitate.
LA Knight interrupts and he makes his way to the ring.
Knight wants to talk to ya. He says everyone has been calling for LA Knight and none of you want him in the ring. Knight says he is looking at the WWE Establishment. He is the sore thumb standing out here and he likes that. Cena, you have this master plan. You did it all. Your plans didn’t include him. Knight says he has a shot at all of you on his way to taking what is his. If he has to drop a Viper, a Nightmare, and a genius balding bitch John Cena, I will do it.
Cena leaves the ring and heads to the back. Ron Killings attacks Cena from behind and he punches Cena.
As Officials pull Killings off Cena, we go to commercial.

6/13 WWE SmackDown Preview
WWE continues the King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments tonight on SmackDown with four major Fatal Four-Way First Round Matches set to take place, as well as fallout from Money in the Bank and key appearances by top stars including Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena and Women’s Money in the Bank winner Naomi.
In the Queen of the Ring Tournament, the spotlight will be on two high-stakes Fatal Four-Ways. Charlotte Flair will battle Alexa Bliss, Candice LeRae, and Chelsea Green, while Jade Cargill takes on Michin, Nia Jax, and Piper Niven. Roxanne Perez previously advanced on RAW earlier this week by defeating Bliss, LeRae, and Shayna Baszler.
On the men’s side of the bracket, Cody Rhodes, Andrade, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Damian Priest will collide in one Fatal Four-Way, while Carmelo Hayes, LA Knight, Aleister Black, and Randy Orton face off in another. The winners will move one step closer to the June 28 finals at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, where the King and Queen will earn title shots at SummerSlam.
Naomi is also set to appear after capturing the 2025 Women’s Money in the Bank briefcase last Saturday. She outlasted Roxanne Perez, Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, Giulia, and Stephanie Vaquer to win the match. WWE is teasing that she will address the crowd tonight with possible hints about which championship she plans to target with her guaranteed title shot.
United States Champion Jacob Fatu, who shocked fans by betraying Solo Sikoa during the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, will appear tonight to address his brutal attack. Fatu cost Sikoa the match after pulling him off the ladder and assaulting him, signaling a major shift in Bloodline dynamics.
Finally, John Cena will be live on SmackDown to respond to his confrontation with CM Punk on RAW. The face-off ended with Cena agreeing to defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against Punk at Night of Champions. What Cena has to say tonight could set the tone for what’s expected to be one of the biggest matches of the summer.
