The WWE King & Queen of the Ring event unfolded with thrilling outcomes and pivotal title changes. Liv Morgan emerged as the new Women’s World Champion after defeating Becky Lynch, who confirmed that she has a rematch clause in her contract. Lynch announced she would face Morgan for the title on Monday’s RAW.
In the locker room, an exhilarated Liv Morgan expressed, “I told you. I told each and every one of you. I completed the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour. And you can cry about it.”
On the other side, World Heavyweight Champion and Judgment Day leader Damian Priest tweeted his frustration regarding Dominik Mysterio accidentally assisting Liv Morgan in defeating Becky Lynch for the Women’s World Title: “What!? From bad to worse… smh.”
Additionally, Triple H announced good news: Drew McIntyre has been cleared to return to in-ring action. He is set to challenge Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at the main event of Clash At The Castle in Scotland, McIntyre’s homeland, on June 15. McIntyre took a jab at Priest by comparing his situation to that of John Cena at ECW One Night Stand 2006: “Priest walking into Glasgow (Except without the aura).”
Meanwhile, Nia Jax clinched the Queen of the Ring tournament and earned a shot at the WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam 2024. Bayley, the current WWE Women’s Champion, tweeted her reaction to Nia’s victory: “See you around idiot.”
Lastly, despite ongoing controversies surrounding Brock Lesnar, commentator Michael Cole mentioned “The Beast” during the event. While discussing how this year’s King & Queen of the Ring winners will receive World Title matches at SummerSlam, Cole recalled that Brock Lesnar was the last person to win the King of the Ring tournament and challenge for a World Title at SummerSlam back in 2002.
