WWE SmackDown Preview: Controversial finish to Hell in a Cell match, former Universal Champion to be squashed by debuting star? (June 18, 2021)

#4 Commander Azeez set to make his in-ring debut on WWE SmackDown tonight

Commander Azeez will target Kevin Owens once again on WWE SmackDown

Last week on WWE SmackDown, Kevin Owens and Big E teamed up to take on Apollo Crews and Sami Zayn. After an interesting in-ring battle, Owens pinned Zayn to win the match for his team. However, Crews was not yet ready to accept defeat. The Intercontinental Champion took the mic and demanded a rematch against Owens and Big E.

He blamed his loss entirely on Zayn and stated that the result would be different if he was paired up with his ally, Commander Azeez. This led to a tag team match being booked between the four superstars for tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown.

The match will also mark the SmackDown in-ring debut of Commander Azeez, who has worked well in aiding Crews over the last few weeks.

Now, Azeez will look to assert his dominance by targeting KO, and WWE could book a squash encounter to put him over with the viewers.
