WWE SmackDown June 9, 2023 Preview & Match Card
WWE SmackDown episode of June 9, 2023, will see 4 Money in the Bank Ladder match qualifiers. Jey Uso will have to choose whether to side with Roman Reigns or Jimmy Uso as the Bloodline civil war continues.
Butch takes on Baron Corbin while Santos Escobar faces Mustafa Ali in a men’s MITB qualifiers. Michin takes on Bayley while Shotzi faces Iyo Sky in women’s MITB qualifiers. Tune in below for complete preview and match card for WWE SmackDown June 9, 2023 episode.
Jey Uso’s Choice
Jimmy Uso had enough of Roman Reign’s dictatorship at Night of Champions and ended up hitting him with a superkick when Roman tried to bully Jey out of the ring. Jimmy had words for Roman after they interrupted 1000 Days Celebration for Roman last week. At one point, it looked like Roman was ready to make amend ways with his family, but it was all a ruse and Roman ordered Solo to take out Jimmy.
For Jey Uso, it was an emotional roller coaster as he could just stand there. This week, Roman has given Jey an ultimatum to either fall in line or side with Jimmy and get kicked out of the Bloodline. What side will Jey Uso choose- Roman or Jimmy?

On the men’s side, two free agents in Mustafa Ali and Baron Corbin will be coming to SmackDown to compete in the qualifiers. Ali will take on LWO’s Santos Escobar who will look to be the second person from the stable to be part of this year’s ladder matches. Corbin will take on Butch from The Brawling Brutes.
On the women’s side, Damage CTRL’s Bayley and Iyo Sky will both try to qualify for women’s ladder match in order to have an advantage in London also. Bayley is tasked to get past The OC’s Michin this week in order to qualify while Sky will have to take on Shotzi for the same. Will Damage CTRL duo be able to get past their miscommunications in the past weeks to both get qualifications?
