WWE SmackDown Preview: Confirmed matches and segments (06-05-2026)
Tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown takes place from the Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy. Tonight’s episode is the first for the blue brand since the Clash in Italy PLE event, so expect the fallout from that show here.
No matches have officially been confirmed for the card as of writing, although there will likely be King and Queen of the Ring Tournament opening round matches ahead of the Night of Champions event from Saudi Arabia later this month.
