The only match WWE has announced for tonight’s 3 hour episode of SmackDown (as of this writing at 8 am ET) is a low card singles bout between The Miz and Axiom. These guys got into a backstage argument last week over Danhausen’s curse, which led to Miz threatening to ruin Axiom’s return home in Spain. On the surface, this looks like a throwaway match that doesn’t have much juice to it until Danhausen and Kit Wilson get involved. “I don’t think he has the chance to show it a lot at the moment, but I think Axiom actually is the best technical wrestler on the main roster right now. He’s in a tag team. He’s doing different kinds of matches right now, but when he gets the chance to show his skills, I think he’s by far the best technical wrestler we have.”

Fraxiom is currently going nowhere in WWE (Nathan Frazer can’t even beat that jabroni Matt Cardona), and this is Axiom’s first chance to show off his top notch wrestling skills in a singles bout on SmackDown since January. Miz is certainly not in his league in that regard, and a match with low card guys doesn’t typically get a lot of time. Furthermore, last week, Gunther launched a brutal attack on Cody Rhodes after the latter’s main event clash against Sami Zayn, who refused to help Cody as Gunther put him to sleep. Now, ahead of his Undisputed title defense at Clash in Italy, Rhodes will address the attack on the go-home show. On the other hand, Jade Cargill will also deliver a final message to WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley, ahead of their title rematch this Sunday. Notably, Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton are listed as featured superstars for the show, while there is no confirmation on their return, McIntyre is currently confirmed to compete on the June 2 live show against Jacob Fatu.
