WWE The New Era EP3: Smackdown June 13

Location: San Diego, California
Commentary: Michael Cole & Nigel McGuinness
Run Time: ~15-minute read
Theme: Signings, shockwaves, and a new monster emerges.


OPENING SEGMENT – “The Devil May Sign”

SmackDown opens with a wide shot of the crowd buzzing after Raw’s carnage. Michael Cole welcomes fans as Nigel sets the stakes for Money in the Bank just two weeks away.

Triple H’s music hits. The COO heads to the ring in a blazer and speaks plainly:

“WWE has already seen chaos. Titles vacated. Alliances formed. Bodies broken.
But what if I told you… we’re not done yet?”

He pauses, the crowd restless.

“Because right now, I’m negotiating with one of the most despicable, arrogant, self-centered human beings ever to step into a ring—and he might be on his way to WWE.”

The crowd buzzes. Chants break out: “MJF! MJF!”

“That’s right. Maxwell Jacob Friedman says he’ll appear next Friday on SmackDown.
Whether he signs? That’s up to him. But let me be clear—we want him.

Cole calls it a potential industry-altering move.


MATCH 1 – MITB Qualifier: Kevin Owens vs Grayson Waller

Kevin Owens enters to a huge pop. His opponent? A surprise new signing—Grayson Waller, cocky and confident with a mic in hand.

Waller cuts a short promo saying he’s “the flash WWE needs”, but KO shuts him up with a cannonball in the corner.

The match is fast-paced and hard-hitting. Waller shows fight, but a pop-up powerbomb followed by a Stunner ends it.

Winner: Kevin Owens
How: Pinfall after a Stunner
Qualifies for: Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match


BACKSTAGE – Cody & Hangman (Again)

Backstage, Cody Rhodes is asked about Hangman Page.

“I know who he is. I know what he’s capable of. But if he wants that title…
He’ll have to go through me.”

Suddenly, Hangman steps into frame.

Hangman:

“I ain’t here for talk. I’m here for gold. Let’s settle it when it matters most. We’ve been here before. But now, the biggest prize in all of wrestling is on the line. I NEED this. And I’m going to take it.”

They stare each other down. Commentary speculates: “Could we see Cody vs Hangman at Money in the Bank?”


MATCH 2 – Women’s MITB Qualifier: Tiffany Stratton vs Shotzi

Another new face joins the women’s division as Tiffany Stratton makes her debut. Her opponent is Shotzi, in her hometown.

Shotzi’s fiery offense keeps her competitive, but Stratton’s athleticism and timing shine. After countering a top rope senton, she finishes with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever.

Winner: Tiffany Stratton
How: Pinfall
Qualifies for: Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match


IN-RING SEGMENT – “The Gunns Want Gold”

The Gunns (Austin & Colten) make their WWE debut, walking to the ring in matching black-and-gold gear. They get on the mic:

Austin Gunn:

“Tag division? It’s dead. We’re here to inject life. Swagger. Legacy.”

Colten:

“This is a message to every team in WWE. The Gunn Club just went global.”

Suddenly—new music hits.

Out step the masked, energetic newcomers Fraxiom. A mash-up of speed, style, and attitude.


MATCH 3 – The Gunns vs Fraxiom

The match starts hot. Fraxiom (fast-paced, crowd-friendly, clearly breakout stars in the making) run circles around the cocky Gunns.

Despite some heel tricks, the Gunns are caught with a springboard cutter/frog splash combo and pinned clean.

Winner: Fraxiom
How: Pinfall
Note: Major upset, crowd goes wild


VIDEO PACKAGE – “He’s Almost Here”

Quick-cut teaser airs.

  • A gloved hand placing a diamond ring in a locker
  • The back of a Burberry scarf
  • A smirk behind shadows

Then:
“Next Friday – MJF speaks.”


BACKSTAGE – Jack Perry & The Bucks React

Backstage, Perry and The Bucks scoff at the MJF hype.

Matt Jackson:

“Maxwell? Please. He’s not coming to our company.”

Perry:

“If he does, he’ll find out quick: this is our turf now. And as for Punk, he’s gone now. I put him down like the little bitch that he is.”


MAIN EVENT – Penta El Zero Miedo (w/ Rey Fenix) vs Bron Breakker

Penta, flanked by Rey Fenix, gets a fiery entrance. But Bron Breakker walks out stone-faced, ready to destroy.

The bell rings—and it’s a war.

Penta uses his kicks and creativity to stagger Breakker early. But Bron’s raw strength is unmatched. He absorbs punishment, powers through a Canadian Destroyer attempt, and spear-tackles Penta mid-air.

Moments later, Gorilla Press Slam. Game over.

Winner: Bron Breakker
How: Pinfall after Press Powerslam
Post-match: Rey Fenix tries to check on Penta but is shoved aside. Breakker snarls and exits as Cole says, “Bron Breakker may be the most dangerous man in WWE right now.”
