WWE SmackDown results for the June 9 episode are out now. The company had announced two segments and four matches for the show in advance. The Usos addressed their WWE future, while Asuka received a brand-new WWE Women’s Championship.
The four Money in the Bank qualifiers also took place at the Wells Fargo Arena as two men and two women further reserved their places in the 2023 Money in the Bank ladder matches.
The show opened with a segment featuring Paul Heyman, Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa. Jey had to pick between his twin brother Jimmy Uso and his Tribal Chief Roman Reigns. Wiseman Heyman bribed him with a shot at the US title.
While Jey accepted the title match, he returned backstage without shaking hands with Heyman. Later on the show, US Champion Austin Theory defeated Uso and retained his title, thanks to Jimmy Uso’s assistance.

Talking about the special segment involving Asuka, the RAW Women’s Championship was retired on the show. Adam Pearce presented her with a WWE Women’s Championship. The belt was of golden color just like the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship presented to Roman Reigns last week.
Much to everyone’s surprise, Charlotte Flair made her return during the segment. The 14-time champion confronted Asuka, and Pearce soon made a title match official for next week, where Asuka will defend her brand-new title against The Queen of All Eras.
