King & Queen of the Ring tournaments to begin next week on WWE Raw
The King & Queen of the Ring tournaments begin on next week’s Raw.
On Monday, LA Knight came out for a promo and announced that next week, the King & Queen of the Ring tournaments would begin on Raw, which will take place in Turin just one day after Clash in Italy. It was mentioned that the winners of the tournament would earn a future title match. Participants for either tournament were not announced, but Knight made clear he would be throwing his hat in the ring, saying he wanted a shot at Roman Reigns and his title.
That brought out Jimmy Uso as the two argued about The Usos realigning themselves with Roman Reigns over the last several months. Jimmy said he understood why Knight had issues with the Bloodline and what they did in the past, but said it wasn’t like that anymore. Knight said if the family business became his business, he would make sure they go out of business.
Next week’s Raw on Netflix will start at a special time, 2 pm ET/11 am PT.
Who won last year’s tournaments?
Last year’s King and Queen of the Ring winners were Cody Rhodes and Jade Cargill, respectively. Both earned title matches at SummerSlam: Rhodes went on to defeat John Cena for the WWE Championship, while Jade Cargill was unsuccessful against Tiffany Stratton.
After Clash in Italy, WWE’s next event will be Night of Champions on Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on June 27. Recent King & Queen of the Ring winners dating back to 2021 have all been determined in Saudi Arabia.
