WWE Smackdown from Louisville
WWE Smackdown on Friday, June 7th is from Louisville, KY. They had 8,300 tickets out according to WrestleTix, so far from a sellout but they still will have a nice crowd. The only matches and other things that are announced are:
- Johnny Gargano versus Grayson Waller
- Jade Cargill versus Indi Hartwell
- Solo Sikoa Anoints Tonga Loa into The Bloodline
- Cody Rhodes Appears

- The Villains and Akuma against Kraneo and The Devil Twins
- Esfinge versus Star Black
AEW Rampage
AEW Rampage is back in its regular 10:00 pm time slot on TNT tonight. It’s a very weak lineup and I’m on the fence about watching it. I may be watching it sometime on Saturday or Sunday.
- Penta versus The Butcher
- The Acclaimed versus Hunter Gray and Harvez
- Toa Liona and Bishop Kaun versus Private Party
- Mina Shirakawa versus Serena Deeb
Gabe Kidd Challenging
Gabe Kidd said that he wants to wrestle Randy Orton at Wrestle Kingdom. I would love to see it, but it’s probably not going to happen. I can’t see NJPW working with AEW and WWE on the same card.
