The WWE has just been back to Saudi Arabia, where the 12th 'King Of The Ring' tournament was held. However, this years event also included the first ever ''Queen Of The King' tournament. The results were...

SPOILER:
  • After a pre-show dark tag team match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, where Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill defeated Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell to retain the titles, the evening started proper with the Women's World Championship which ended when Liv Morgan scored a pinfall over Becky Lynch to win the title
  • The next bout was a triple threat match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship where Sami Zayn defeated Bronson Reed with a pinfall to retain the title. Chad Gable was also involved in the match
  • This was followed by the first ever Queen of the Ring tournament final which saw Nia Jax defeat Lyra Valkyria via pinfall to earn a shot at the SmackDown WWE Women's Championship at the SummerSlam PPV
  • The penultimate fight of the evening was the King of the Ring tournament final which featured a controversial ending when Gunther was awarded a pinfall victory over Randy Orton to become King of the Ring. However, Orton's shoulder was clearly off the mat during the count to such an extent that commentator Corey Graves mentioned it. Either way, Gunther will now receive a shot at the RAW World Heavyweight Championship at the SummerSlam PPV
  • The final match of the evening was a Singles match for the Undisputed WWE Championship which saw Cody defeat Logan Paul via pinfall to retain the title


The WWE is back in the UK with their first ever PPV to be held in Scotchland on June 15 - although 'Clash At The Castle' should have it's name changed because there is no castle at the Glasgow OVO Hydro!

I've just look at the ticket prices for this. Apparently you cannot get a ticky that is only for the PPV - you have to get one for the preceding evenings episode of SmackDown as well. Anyway, currently available prices start at UK$333.35 (for a single ticket) and go all the way to an eye-watering UK$2,106.80 (for a single ticket)!
