The first names have advanced in the ongoing WWE King and Queen of the Ring tournament, following a Men’s and Women’s match tonight.
On Monday’s episode of WWE RAW, Roxanne Perez advanced in the Queen of the Ring Tournament after a fatal four-way match. The bout included Rhea Ripley, Kairi Sane, and Liv Morgan, and came down to a chaotic end. In the end, Perez was able to roll up Sane right after Kairi hit Liv Morgan with an elbow drop.
Later in the night, it was Sami Zayn who would advance in the King of the Ring tournament. In a match that included Dominik Mysterio, Bron Breakker, and Penta, it was Zayn who would walk out on top. The match ended with Breakker hitting a Spear on Penta, and LA Knight coming out to hit a BFT on Breakker. This let Zayn take advantage, and he hit a Helluva Kick on Mysterio for the win.
The winners of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments will receive a respective championship match at WWE SummerSlam. To determine the finals, each brand will have two four-way matches, with superstars advancing. Semifinals for the tournament will also begin a cross-brand competition.
King and Queen of the Ring was last held last year, with its own official event also in Saudi Arabia. That show saw Gunther defeat Randy Orton in the King of the Ring tournament, while Nia Jax beat Lyra Valkyria in the Queen of the Ring final.
