What about Crowning Moment then? I mean calling it K&Q of the ring pretty generic to isn't?
I guess I don't know what the issue is with King and Queen of the Ring?

Again, totally misses the selling point of the PLE.

what selling point though? its a PLE already paid for by the Saudi government, they dont have a gate to sell, and its not gonna really be a big peacock sub mover.

That's the one thing WWE has over AEW and other brands except maybe impact since they got + you don't have to sell anything as hard

I think Impact still sells hard papes for the most part, but I get your point. Impact's main advantage is they own the tv channel they air on

K&Q of the ring just doesn't role off the tounge to me personally calling it Crown Jewel and being like we will have kotr and crown the queen of the ring sounds better lol but hey maybe it's just me

Selling point, tag line whatever you want to call it, the point is you're literally hiding the premise of the PLE behind some random ass name. You see 'King & Queen of the ring' and you know the deal, just like Elimination Chamber, Royal Rumble etc.

but no one has ever referred it to king and queen of the ring, it has no historical value with that name. people recognize king of the ring

no idea tbh. I just think this argument doesn't particularly hold much water like the other well know established tag lines. just admit the name is way too long for an event name and its clunky. its not that big a deal either. won't be the first or last name a wrestling event has a dumbass name

The true story of this though is no more WrestleMania Backlash that was terrible
