World Wrestling Entertainment is set to crown a new King & Queen. WWE King & Queen Of The Ring will take place Saturday, May 25 from Saudi Arabia, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer.
A King & Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event was initially scheduled for May 2023. That show was ultimately changed to Night Of Champions to reflect Roman Reigns reaching 1,000 days as WWE Universal Champion.
Night of Champion 2023 also saw the re-introduction of the World Heavyweight Championship that was won at the event by Seth Rollins. The Architect defeated AJ Styles in the finals of a 12-man tournament at the event.
King & Queen of the Ring
The upcoming Premium Live Event will be WWE\'s first King of the Ring event since 2002 and the first ever to feature a Queen of the Ring in its name. The most recent King of the Ring is Xavier Woods who won the tournament in 2021 by last defeating Finn Balor in the finals.
2021 also saw Zelina Vega defeat Piper Niven (Doudrop at the time) to win the Queen\'s Crown Tournament. WWE opted not to refer to Vega as \'Queen of the Ring\' following her victory. At this time, no names have been confirmed for either tournament that will host its finals at the May Premium Live Event.
