  • WWE King & Queen of the Ring 2024 Results

    WWE King & Queen of the Ring 2024 Results

    While I am not happy with the location of these events, I am glad to see that this was, yet again, a very good card.

    There was a bit of controversy with the Gunther vs Randy Orton match relating to Orton’s shoulder not being down while the referee was pinning, but according to Triple H, that the referees decision is final.

    💡
    • Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill defeated Candice LeRae to retain the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship
    • Liv Morgan defeated Becky Lynch to become the NEW Women’s World Championship
    • Sami Zayn defeated Bronson Reed and Chad Gable to retain the Intercontinental Championship
    • Nia Jax defeated Lyra Valkyria to become Queen of the Ring
    • Gunther defeated Randy Orton to become King of the Ring
    • Cody Rhodes defeated Logan Paul to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship

    And that was the show.

  • WWE King & Queen of the Ring 2024 Predictions

    WWE King & Queen of the Ring 2024 Predictions

    Welcome to Saudi Blood Money XI from the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia. It is WWE’s first of 2 trips to the kingdom in 2024 and today is the finals of the King of the Ring Tournament and Queen of the Ring Tournament.

    How did we get to the finals?

    It was a 16-man and 16-woman tournament that began on May 6th and May 10th’s RAW and SmackDown respectively.

    On the Men’s side:

    • 1st Round on RAW:
      • Gunther defeated Sheamus
      • Kofi Kingston defeated Rey Mysterio
      • Ilja Dragunov defeated Ricochet
      • Jey Uso defeated Finn Bálor
    • 1st Round on SmackDown:
      • Randy Orton defeated AJ Styles
      • Carmelo Hayes defeated Baron Corbin
      • LA Knight defeated Santos Escobar

    • Quarter-finals on RAW
      • Gunther defated Kofi Kingston
      • Jey Uso defeated Ilja Dragunov
    • Quarter-finals on SmackDown
      • Randy Orton defeated Carmelo Hayes
      • Tama Tonga defeated LA Knight
    • Semi-finals on RAW
      • Gunther defeated Jey Uso
    • Semi-finals on SmackDown
      • Randy Orton defeated Tama Tonga

    Which now means that Gunther (RAW) will take on Randy Orton (SmackDown) to become King of the Ring.

    On the Women’s side:

    • 1st Round on RAW
      • Shayna Baszler defeated Maxxine Dupri
      • Iyo Sky defeated Natalya

    • Quarter-finals on RAW
      • Iyo Sky defeated Shayna Baszler
      • Lyra Valkyria defeated Zoey Stark
    • Quarter-finals on SmackDown
      • Nia Jax defeated Jade Cargill via DQ
      • Bianca Belair defeated Tiffany Stratton.
    • Semi-finals on RAW
      • Lyra Valkyria defeated Iyo Sky
    • Semi-finals on SmackDown
      • Nia Jax defeated Bianca Belair

    Which now means that Lyra Valkyria (RAW) will take on Nia Jax (SmackDown) to become Queen of the Ring!

    Let’s have a look and predict the rest of this card:


    Title Matches

    • Gunther (RAW) vs Randy Orton (SmackDown) in a singles match in the finals of the King of the Ring Tournament. Winner will receive a world title match on their respecitive brand at SummerSlam.
      • PREDICTION: I can see this being a match of the night and potentially having “King Gunther” at the of the night is going to be a welcome sight to see. Gunther to win and become King of the Ring.
    • Lyra Valkyria (RAW) vs Nia Jax (SmackDown) in a singles match in the finals of the Queen of the Ring Tournament. Winner will receive a women’s world title match on their respecitive brand at SummerSlam.
      • PREDICTION: Never bet against the Irish. Lyra is going to take it home to Ireland. Queen Lyra to win and become Queen of the Ring.
    • Becky Lynch (C) vs Liv Morgan in a singles match for the Women’s World Championship
      • PRECICTION: Becky is Irish. See my last point about Lyra. Becky to win and retain the Women’s World Championship
    • Sami Zayn (C) vs Chad Gable vs Bronson Reed in a Triple Threat match for the Intercontinental Championship
      • PREDICTION: This may pip Gunther/Orton as these guys can work. Expect some hard hitting wrestling, but I don’t think Sami is going to drop the title any time soon. Sami to win and retain the Intercontinental Championship
    • Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill (C) vs Candice LeRae vs Indi Hartwell in a tag team match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship
      • PREDICTION: Nothing much to say here but Bianca and Jade will retain the WWE Women’s World Championship here.
    • Cody Rhodes (C) vs Logan Paul in a singles match for the Undisputed WWE Championship
      • PREDICTION: Cody ain’t losing the title any time soon. Cody to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship.

    And those are my predictions.
