The King and Queen of the Ring tournament finals are set for WWE Night of Champions. Oba Femi and Jey Uso clash for the men’s crown, while Liv Morgan and Iyo Sky collide in the women’s division.Last year’s news to the format arguably made the tournaments more important than ever before. Not only are the winners crowned King and Queen of the Ring, alongside some legendary names, but they also earn world title shots at WWE’s second biggest show of the year, SummerSlam. The story behind the King and Queen of the Ring stretches from June until the first weekend of August, crossing Raw, SmackDown and Night of Champions before culminating with two world titles at SummerSlam.The quarterfinals featured fatal four-way matches. Advancing superstars must win singles matches in the second and final rounds to receive their coronation. The opening rounds feature two superstars from Raw and SmackDown in each four-way match.
Femi locked his spot by overcoming interference from The Judgement Day in his matchup with Dominik Mysterio. “The Ruler” delivered a brutal beating to both Mysterio and JD McDonagh on Raw to advance. Uso advanced by defeating main roster rookie Je’Von Evans, the latter of whom exceeded expectations by making it to the semifinals.Meanwhile, Sky became the first finalist for the Queen of the Ring when she beat Raquel Rodriguez. She’ll meet women’s world champion Morgan, who aims to carry top titles on both brands. Morgan got a crucial assist in her semifinal match with Charlotte Flair after Jade Cargill’s squad seriously damaged Flair’s leg.
