Report Wwe Introducing New Version Of King Of The Ring Tournament This Year

WWE has not held a King of the Ring tournament since Baron Corbin won the crown back in 2019. But, according to Wrestling Inc., a new version of the tournament is on the way. The site reported on Thursday that the first-ever Queen of the Ring tournament will take place as a special one-night WWE Network/Peacock event, though the date and location have not been ironed out. From 1993-2002 the single-elimination tournament took place over the span of one night as an annual pay-per-view, but later installments (except for 2015) would take place over the span of several weeks on Raw and SmackDown.

Last night I beat the @wwe champion. Normally normally that means I’m owed a championship match. I’d like to exchange that for a one night King of The Ring tournament at the companies earliest convince. And I’d like Riddle on the opposite end of the bracket. I owe him one… pic.twitter.com/2Y7S4VxQa4
