The finals of the 2026 King and Queen of the Ring tournament, which kicked off after Clash in Italy, will be held at the PLE. The winner will be crowned King & Queen of the Ring and will earn a World title match at SummerSlam.
Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker will collide in a steel cage match
Speaking of the 2026 King and Queen of the Ring tournament, Oba Femi defeated Dominik Mysterio in the semi-final of the tournament and advanced to the finals. Jey Uso won the second semi-final, defeating Je’Von Evans to secure the spot and will battle Femi in the finals.
On the other hand, Iyo Sky defeated Raquel Rodriguez to advance into the finals. The second semi-final was contested on the June 19 edition of SmackDown, where Liv Morgan defeated an injured Charlotte Flair to advance into the semi-finals, where she will face Iyo.
Meanwhile, WWE United States Champion Trick Williams is set to defend his title against the Ricky Saints, who won the number one contender match on the June 19 episode, defeating Carmelo Hayes to secure the title opportunity.
Furthermore, after Bron Breakker cost Seth Rollins the first-round match of the King of the Ring tournament, Rollins challenged Breakker to a steel cage match on the June 15 edition of Raw. Breakker accepted the challenge later in the show, and WWE made it official moments later.
During the June 19 edition of SmackDown, Cody Rhodes defeated Gunther to retain the Undisputed title in the rematch from Clash in Italy, all thanks to a quick pin by Sami Zayn, who was the special guest referee. The match restarted due to the controversy, but this time Sami attacked Gunther, resulting in a DQ finish.
Later in the show, Rhodes requested General Manager Nick Aldis to book a triple-threat match against Gunther and Sami Zayn. The match was made official for the PLE in Riyadh.
During the same show, Jade Cargill challenged Tiffany Stratton to a showdown and put the Women’s US title on the line. Later in the show, Stratton, during an interview with Cathy Kelley, accepted the challenge, making another title showdown official for the show.
