WWE SmackDown 6/12/2026: 3 Things We Hated & 3 Things We Loved
Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s weekly review of "WWE SmackDown," the show that saw two more wrestlers advance to the semifinals in the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments! Here at WINC, we have thoughts about both those four-way matches, as well as Giulia, the women's tag team champions, and of course, Danhausen! We always have thoughts about Danhausen.
If you missed the show, feel free to catch up by checking out our "WWE SmackDown" 6/12/26 results page; that's where you can find coverage of the entire three hour show. This column will not be doing that, because here, we only talk about the segments and matches that stood out to us the most (with apologies to Rey Fenix vs. Axiom) either in a positive or a negative way. Here are three things we hated and three things we loved about the 6/12/26 episode of "WWE SmackDown!"
I have an abundance of respect for what Sol Ruca, Lyra Valkyria, Jade Cargill, and Charlotte Flair can do in the ring, and truly think that each of them is quite talented in their own regard. With that being said, I didn't exactly think that they gelled well with one another in their First Round Fatal Four-Way Match for the 2026 Queen of the Ring Tournament.
To start with, I think WWE might have set a record here for the quickest time that interference has taken place on one of their weekly shows in a match. The company does interference in so many matches as is, but it felt extra abrupt happening just 15 minutes into this edition of "SmackDown." On top of that, they didn't really need to have the interference in the first place and the brawl between Michin, B-Fab, Tiffany Stratton, and Alexa Bliss didn't have any impact on the rest of this match. It was totally unnecessary, and something I absolutely could've done without.
There were also quite a few noticeable botches throughout the course of this match that kept taking me out of the action. Wheth
