WWE reportedly scheduling Backlash and King of the Ring for May

[Kim Jong Umb]

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

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

Btw the cars and shit was nice just a terrible ppv name

I thought Day One was particularly bad and uninspired lol

Yeah not very good


I miss Bragging Rights (always thought it was a cool name even if it was reduent to Survivor Series and I def think Breaking Point had potential.

 

[Wiseman]

I got the compromise. We shall call it The Crowning Jewels of the King and Queen of the Ring

 

[Swamps]

Can we just not have the winners adapt the Royalty gimmick. It’s so played out

King Mabel was the last person to get it over! Should have been Champ

 

[The Gipper]

They could call this “Vince McMahon did nothing wrong” and still make a profit due to the Saudi stuff.

^ I mean it's not like now and days you have to sell it that hard Peacock is what 11$ with ads?

$5 with ads.

It was accurate.

I don't get the problem with King & Queen of the Ring. No one complained about the King of the Ring PPV names from 1993-2002. Why would we complain now? Kinda sexist if you ask me.

I explained , just a bit of a mouthful. Has nothing to dl witn sexism. Certainly not excited for women being forced to cover up and pretend its progress to allow men to watch em. But lets not go there shall we its a slippery slope

[Kim Jong Umb]

Im fine with Night of Champions

 

[Hoss]

It is my opinion that the K and QOTR tourneys should just be held at... Crown Jewel... what are we doing?

As noted, WWE announced this week that the next event from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be WWE Night of Champions PLE, not the previously announced WWE King and Queen of The Ring PLE.

In an update, a new report from PWInsider notes that the name change was made simply as a creative decision with the idea that the Night of Champions name would mean something internationally in Saudi Arabia. It remains to be seen if all titles will be defended.

We noted before how there was no word on if WWE still had plans to hold the King of The Ring Tournament and the Queen’s Crown Tournament at Night of Champions. Word now is that the decision had not been made as of the end of this week, and one source felt it was less likely.

The same source speculated that both tournaments will be plugged into post-Draft creative plans, but nothing was set in stone as of Friday for the tournaments.

There’s also still no word yet on if Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens will travel to the Kingdom that night to defend, if all titles are to be defended. Zayn has not traveled to Saudi Arabia with WWE in the past for religious reasons, and Owens has passed on the trips for personal reasons. Zayn and Owens will defend their titles against The Usos on the April 28 SmackDown.​
