In the world of professional wrestling, few events carry the prestige and anticipation of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments. This year, WWE brings back these historic tournaments with a bang, as the King and Queen of the Ring event is set to take place on May 25, 2024, at the Jeddah Super Dome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The event will be streamed live on Peacock and on WWE Network everywhere else at 1 p.m. ET, promising a spectacle of high-stakes matches and championship opportunities.
The King of the Ring tournament, which has a rich history dating back to 1985, has often been a launching pad for future WWE champions. This year, the tournament has been rebranded as the King and Queen of the Ring, marking the first dedicated event for the Queen of the Ring tournament, originally known as Queen’s Crown. The finals of both the 23rd King of the Ring and the second Queen of the Ring tournaments will take place at this event, adding an extra layer of excitement and anticipation for fans worldwide.
Gunther And Bianca Belair: Probable King & Queen Of The Ring 2024
The King of the Ring final will see either Randy Orton or Tama Tonga face off against Gunther, who has been a dominant force in WWE, holding the Intercontinental Championship for a record-breaking 666 days. Gunther’s potential victory in the King of the Ring tournament would further cement his status as one of the most formidable competitors in WWE.
On the women’s side, the Queen of the Ring final will pit Lyra Valkyria against either Nia Jax or Bianca Belair. A victory for Belair would add another feather to her cap, boosting the tournament’s short history.
The event will also feature a highly anticipated Champion vs. Champion match between WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and United States Champion Logan Paul. This match has been the talk of the town, with Paul executing a bait and switch on Rhodes by revealing a specially-made contract to ensure that their contest would only have the WWE Title being defended. This match is expected to be a highlight of the event, showcasing the best of WWE’s current talent.
WWE Championships On The Line
In addition to the tournament finals and the Champion vs. Champion match, the event will also feature two more title matches. Becky Lynch will put the women’s world championship on the line against Liv Morgan, and Sami Zayn will defend his intercontinental championship in a triple-threat match with Chad Gable and Bronson Reed. These matches promise to be thrilling contests, with each competitor vying for championship gold.
The King and Queen of the Ring event is not just a celebration of wrestling excellence but also a testament to WWE’s commitment to expanding its global footprint. The event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, is part of WWE’s ongoing partnership with the country, and it promises to be a memorable night for wrestling fans around the world.
