WWE has already confirmed several important matches for the episode of SmackDown on June 19, and the card comes with a lot at stake. The program will include title defenses, Queen of the Ring tournament semifinals, and a decisive qualifier heading towards Night of Champions.

The event will be headlined by Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther for the WWE Undisputed Championship, with Sami Zayn as a special guest referee. That detail adds an extra twist to a match that already carries a lot of weight.

Additionally, R-Truth and Damian Priest will challenge for the WWE Tag Team Championships against MFT. The tag team division will also have a high-profile clash on a very important night for the blue brand.

The Queen of the Ring tournament will continue with the semifinal between Charlotte Flair and Liv Morgan. The winner will be one step closer to the tournament title and the major prize that comes with it.

Lastly, Carmelo Hayes vs. Ricky Saints will determine who will advance to face Trick Williams for the United States Championship at Night of Champions. With all that on the line, SmackDown promises to be one of the most important cards on the road to WWE's next big event.
