The third first-round matches unfolded in Paris.
The third first-round matches of the WWE 2026 King and Queen of the Ring tournament played out on the June 8 edition of Monday Night at the Accor Arena in Paris, France.
In the women’s QOTR first-round match, Liv Morgan defeated Chelsea Green, Becky Lynch, and Alexa Bliss to advance to the semi-final. Now she will battle the winner of the fourth first-round match between Sol Ruca, Lyra Valkyria, Charlotte Flair, and Jade Cargill.
The winner of the semi-finals between Liv Morgan and the winner of the final first-round match will battle to secure a spot in the finals against the winner of the other semi-finals between Iyo Sky and Raquel Rodriguez.
In the men’s first-round match, Seth Rollins battled Je’von Evans, Talla Tonga, and Ricky Saints. Evans secured the win after pinning Saints as the Vision (Bron Breakker & Austin Theory) attacked Rollins, spoiling his chance to secure the win, as he was looking to put the Vision in his rear view mirror.
