Folks, buckle up because WWE is turning up the heat with the 2024 King & Queen of the Ring tournaments. That’s right, the wrestling gladiators are battling it out, aiming for the royal crown in the sandy arena of Saudi Arabia this May 25. The spectacle kicked off with a bang on the May 6 edition of “WWE Raw,” and let me tell you, it was nothing short of a royal rumble!
In the red corner, we had GUNTHER, Ilja Dragunov, and Jey Uso muscling their way closer to becoming the next King. Meanwhile, in the lavender corner, Zoey Stark, Lyra Valkyria, and IYO Sky gracefully dodged and weaved to advance in the Queen’s quarter-finals. Talk about a clash of the titans!
Now, let’s march onto the May 10 edition of “WWE SmackDown,” where the drama unfolds with even more flair. AJ Styles and Randy Orton are set to throw down in what’s expected to be a first-round slobberknocker, while Tama Tonga makes his WWE singles debut against Angelo Dawkins—who, by the way, is stepping in for the injured Bobby Lashley. Drama and more drama!
On the distaff side, after a less-than-stellar run at Backlash France, Naomi is all geared up to redeem herself against the formidable Nia Jax. Hold onto your hats because the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair, are also entering the fray! Belair is set to dazzle against Candice LeRae, while Cargill takes on Piper Niven. Expect fireworks!
The first round wraps up with a double feature at the WWE Supershows in Chattanooga and Macon. And folks, keep your eyes peeled for the May 13 and May 17 SmackDowns, because that’s where the quarter-finals will set the stage for a royal showdown. The grand finale? A spectacular crowning event in Jeddah, where new royalty will be anointed!
So, don your crowns and prepare for a royal rumble that promises more twists than a Shakespearean drama! Stay tuned, because this tournament is bound to be one for the history books. And remember, in WWE, every match is a battle for the ages!
