WWE announced back at the start of October that, for the first time in company history, a women’s version of the prolific King of the Ring tournament would take place. Now known as the Queen’s Crown tournament, the finals of the eight-woman bracket will be held at Crown Jewel this coming Thursday when Zelina Vega takes on Doudrop for the crown. Unfortunately, the tournament has been met with heavy criticism from fans online, though none of the frustration has been directed at the wrestlers themselves. Rather, fans are upset at just how little time has been dedicated to the tournament with each match being noticeably short.

Queen’s Crown could have been something special. Feels like a missed opportunity when you think of how the Mae Young Classic was presented. This felt rushed with no time to get fans truly invested. Sad. #WWERaw
The Queen’s Crown tournament has been a mess, especially when it comes to these tragically short match times. But the match we got for the finals, Zelina Vega vs. Piper Niven? I like that. They put on one fantastic match with each other before. Hope this one delivers too. #WWERaw
