Two wrestlers declare for WWE King & Queen of the Ring
Two people have declared for King and Queen of the Ring.
During Friday’s SmackDown, Trick Williams and Jacy Jayne both announced that they would be entering this year’s King and Queen of the Ring tournaments, which begin this Monday on Raw. It was also confirmed that the winners of both tournaments will earn a title match at this year’s SummerSlam, which takes place in August.
Williams was the first to declare, cutting a promo in Barcelona against Carmelo Hayes, who has made it clear he wants another shot at the United States title. Hayes came out and said while his former friend may be the King of the Entrance and King of the Microphone, he wasn’t exactly the King of the Ring. Williams took a shot at his height before Ricky Saints made his entrance, saying he’d take care of Williams after he took care of Hayes.
However, no one took care of anyone as their match ended in a double countout when both men continued to fight outside of the ring. The segment ended with Hayes standing tall after connecting with the First 48.
Meanwhile, Paige and Nikki Bella were being interviewed backstage when Jacy Jayne and the rest of Fatal Influence interrupted. Jayne called her shot for the Queen of the Ring tournament, while Fallon Henley and Laney Reid made it clear they were coming for the Women’s Tag Team titles.
