WWE Queen of the Ring Tournament to Start in October, Likely Culminating at Survivor Series 2021

WWE is planning to have its first Queen of the Ring tournament. The idea to have this match for WWE’s Women was in the works for a while, and is finally maturing in 2021.

Initially, it was thought that the fans would witness the match virtually. The idea was to have the event as a special feature on the WWE Network and on Peacock.

However, as per reports, WWE will have Queen of the Ring SmackDown will commence on 10/08 and Raw will commence on 10/11. As of now, the locations of the events are unknown.

Unfortunately, WWE has announced nothing about the King of the Ring tournament. WWE held the last version of King of the Ring in 2019. At that event, Baron Corbin secured the title, and his infamous King Corbin gimmick took over. It’s possible the company may have another in 2021 or 2022 depending on its schedule.

What is the King/Queen of the Ring tournament?

In this format, the Superstars are split into two groups. Usually it’s a group of eight Superstars divided into two groups. They’re put against one another in singles matches, and the matches progress as elimination rounds.

After the first round, four Superstars get eliminated. Following this is the semi finals and then the two Superstars who reach the finals wrestle for the crown.

WWE is bringing back another event from the past

The company had to stop their events in Saudi Arabia because of the global pandemic. However, it’s reported that it will restart the Saudi Arabia events from October 21st, 2021. As per the contract, WWE needs to conduct two events a year in Saudi Arabia for a span of ten years. The company signed this contract in 2018.

It’s not surprising the company is trying to bring back all types of events that stopped or never took place. The past year was difficult for the company, especially with the fans not present for the live events. Now that the company has restarted their live events, it wants to reach out to as much of the WWE Universe as possible.

As of now, WWE hasn’t officially made any announcement about the same.
