The Main Event: The modern versions of King and Queen of the Ring

The King and Queen of the Ring tournaments have begun. This is the third year in the rebooted versions of the tournaments that see royalty crowned and sets up the title matches at SummerSlam.

We’ve had two Kings so far with Gunther and Cody Rhodes; and we’ve had two Queens with Nia Jax and Jade Cargill. But is this version of a WWE classic working?

The Three Count

Danielle put over Cardi-B-Hausen.

Lindsey put over WWE’s little travels around Europe.

Hal put over Dom Dom ACTUALLY loving his dad.

Keep up with this show all week long on instagram, tiktok and bluesky.
