WWE confirms King of the Ring semifinal match for SmackDown
WWE has confirmed the final King of the Ring semifinal match for this week’s episode of SmackDown.
Earlier this week, WWE.com posted a preview for Friday’s show that included the previously unadvertised King of the Ring semifinal between Jey Uso and Je’Von Evans.
Uso qualified for the semifinals on last week’s edition of SmackDown when he defeated Finn Bálor, LA Knight, and Royce Keys in a first-round Fatal 4-Way match in the night’s main event.
The winner of Uso vs. Evans will go on to face Oba Femi in the finals at WWE Night of Champions on June 27.
WWE SmackDown this week is scheduled for the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
The updated lineup is below:
