WWE King and Queen of the Ring 2025 details revealed
WWE has revealed the details for the 2025 King and Queen of the Ring tournaments.
In a joint announcement on Friday’s SmackDown, storyline general managers Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis confirmed that the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments are returning this year, with the finals set for the Night of Champions event in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, June 28.
The winners of this year’s tournaments will once again earn a shot at their brand’s top title at SummerSlam.
Brand-exclusive four-way qualifying matches will comprise the first round of the tournament and take place on WWE programming beginning “next week,” presumably on Monday’s Raw. The second round will feature Raw vs. SmackDown semifinals singles matches, with the finals to be held at Night of Champions.
Gunter and Nia Jax won the 2024 King and Queen of the Ring tournaments, and both went on to capture gold at SummerSlam with Gunther defeating Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight title, and Jax beating Bayley for the WWE Women’s Championship at the event.
