As noted, the finals of the 2026 King and Queen of the Ring tournament will take place in Riyadh. The King of the Ring tournament finals feature a clash between Oba Femi and Jey Uso. Femi wants to win the finals and challenge Roman Reigns, while Jey is aiming to win and challenge Cody Rhodes, a path Reigns himself chose for Jey.

On the other hand, Iyo Sky and Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan will battle in the Queen of the Ring tournament finals. Sky wants to challenge Morgan after the win, while Morgan wants the double champ status and has vowed to win and defeat Iyo’s pal Rhea Ripley to capture the WWE Women’s title again.

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.

Williams is on a hot streak since capturing the title against Sami Zayn, while Saints, who was promoted to the main roster after Mania, is looking to replicate Williams’ success, which might start by capturing the US title in Riyadh.

Seth Rollins vs Bron Breakker – Steel Cage match

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.

Rollins was willing to put the Vision in his rear-view mirror after his most recent win over Breakker and win the tournament to kick off his journey back towards the title. However, the attack has made this a rubber match, and fans are waiting to see if Rollins is able to pin Breakker once again or if Breakker stands tall.

Cody Rhodes (c) vs Gunther vs Sami Zayn – Triple threat match for the Undisputed WWE title

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. Zayn then also laid out Rhodes, nailing him with the title.

Later in the show, Rhodes requested General Manager Nick Aldis to book a triple-threat match against Gunther and Sami Zayn. The match was then made official for the PLE in Riyadh.

Tiffany Stratton (c) vs Jade Cargill – Women’s United States title match

After targeting the Women’s US Champion Tiffany Stratton on the June 12 show, Jade Cargill, a week later, challenged 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 the match official. This title defense marks the first time in history that the Women’s US title, since its inception in December 2024, will be defended at the PLE.
