Before the WWE arrives for one of its signature events later this year – Survivor Series – the world’s preeminent professional wrestling federation will host another televised show in Boston this summer, with Friday Night Smackdown broadcasting from TD Garden on July 22.

The card is subject to change, of course, as storylines evolve and pinfalls shift the story arcs. But billed among the participants for the event is Women’s Smackdown Champion (and MMA legend) Ronda Rousey, as well as The Usos, who entered the summer as WWE’s undisputed tag team champions.

Smackdown hasn’t been in Boston for a couple of years, though the weekly FOX TV show has consistently attracted around 2 million viewers in recent months. Tickets in the balcony can be had for less than $30 (before fees), with seats closer to the squared circle priced as high as $156.50.

Those looking to make a night of wrestling a true family affair might be interested to know that through June 20, the Garden was advertising a Father’s Day promo code that offered 20 percent off certain seats.
