WWE King & Queen Of The Ring Finals Confirmed (WWE News)
SmackDown finalised who'll contest WWE's King and Queen Of The Ring crowns for 2026.
Both the King and Queen Of The Ring tournament finals have been set.
Jey Uso defeated Je'Von Evans and Liv Morgan beat Charlotte Flair in action-packed semi finals on Friday's episode of SmackDown. That means Uso now meets the imposing Oba Femi at Night Of Champions on 27 June. On the women's side, Morgan will wrestle IYO SKY to determine exactly who wears the crown.
One of the most interesting things about all of this is that Liv is currently Women's World Champion. So, should she beat IYO, then she'd have no choice but to go after injured Women's Champ Rhea Ripley. Triple H could, in theory, pull a fast title switch here by having Rhea's knee issues haunt her in a rapid fire loss to an old enemy who replaced her as Dominik Mysterio's love interest in Judgment Day.
Meanwhile, Jey probably has no chance against Oba. WWE will continue pushing him to the moon. The only conceivable way that Femi might lose is if Brock Lesnar returns to cost him the KOTR crown. That'd line up a blowoff match between both rivals for SummerSlam in early-August.
Of course, it'd also have the knock on effect of Uso challenging Cody Rhodes (the most plausible outcome for him) or taking another shot at his 'Tribal Chief' Roman Reigns. Does Uso vs. Rhodes really feel big enough to headline either night at SummerSlam in 2026? The jury's out on that one.
Regardless, both finals are set: Oba vs. Uso and SKY vs. Morgan.
