## Resource

Sami Zayn is coming HOME. The NEW Undisputed WWE Champion returns to SmackDown for the first time since shocking the world at Night of Champions but by the looks of it, his reign may be short lived. A #1 Contender match is set between Cody Rhodes, and Jey Uso for the right to wrestle Sami Zayn next Monday night in Chicago on WWE Raw...with the heavy rumors of a return for CM Punk ahead of SummerSlam. Does Sami Zayn make it into SummerSlam as WWE Champion or does WWE run right back to Cody Rhodes? Rey Fenix puts the AAA Cruiserweight Championship on the line against El Hijo del Vikingo in a Champion vs. Champion dream match. Charlotte Flair, Tiffany Stratton and Chelsea Green team up to face Jade Cargill, B-Fab and Michin in a six-woman tag. And Brie Bella goes one-on-one with Fatal Influence's Lainey Reid in her first ever singles match on SmackDown. Join @JDfromNY for the WWE SmackDown Post Show Livestream, for Friday July 3rd, 2026.
