The King and Queen of the Ring tournaments are returning
next week and the finals will take place at Night of
Champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia later this month.
The two winners of these tournaments will receive title
shots of their respective brands come SummerSlam in August.
The announcement was done by Smackdown General Manager Nick
Aldis and Raw General Manager Adam Pearce on last night’s
episode of Smackdown.
Four-way qualifying matches will act as the first round of
these tournaments and these will be brand specific. The
following week the second round will have Raw vs Smackdown
matches and then whoever wins those second round matches
move on to the finals.
Last year’s event saw Gunther and Nia Jax win the King and
Queen of the Ring tournaments, both successfully winning
their respective titles at SummerSlam afterward.
