In the latest update, fans in attendance will be treated to a dark match featuring two "WWE Raw" superstars as Damian Priest will challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship. That matchup just headlined the June 5 episode of "Raw," which saw Rollins retain in his first defense.

Despite the WWE Draft recently taking place, it's not uncommon for "Raw" stars to appear at "SmackDown" tapings for dark matches. Rollins is also set to appear at this Friday's "SmackDown" taping, which happens to be emanating in his home state of Iowa.

WWE previously revealed that Universal Champion Roman Reigns is also confirmed for the Juy 7 "SmackDown" at MSG as part of his limited summer tour dates on the road to SummerSlam.
