WWE Friday Night SmackDown Results, Recaps and Highlights: June 3, 2022

For this Sunday’s event, a superstar returned with a changed gimmick that set a No Holds Bard Encounter. Also, there was a six-pack challenge to determine the new number-one contestant for the SmackDown Women’s Championship.

Check out the recap and results from Friday night’s June 3 episode of SmackDown at the Scottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio.

SmackDown begins with The New Day’s Coffee Kingston and Xavier Woods. He invited Drew McIntyre into the ring and thanked him for joining in last week’s victory over The Browling Brutus and gave him the honorary “Big D” cult.

McIntyre then challenged the Roman Regions to a clash at Castle in September and vowed to win the undisputed WWE Universal Championship. The Browling Brutes eventually interrupted the opening set of the night.

– Natalya defeated Alia, Scottzy, Zia Lee, Shaina Bazler and Raquel Rodriguez in a six-pack challenge to become the # 1 contender for Rhonda Rossi’s SmackDown Women’s Championship. Alia was also advertised for the match, but Shotz locked her in the women’s locker room.

Champion Rhonda Rossi was present on the ringside for this match. Natalya, Rodriguez Suplex-Ed Scottzi, and later Wader dropped his revolving bombs on both women.

Natalya’s tag team partner Bazler jumped on Rodriguez’s back as Natalya covered the shot to win the pin.
