WWE have announced two tournaments to take place in the near future. Firstly, The King of the Ring tournament will see a return to WWE for the first time since 2019. Also announced is the Queen’s Crown, which is set to be a women’s version of the tournament. It has also been announced that the start date for both tournaments will be the October 8th episode of Friday Night SmackDown:

Currently, no participants have been announce for either tournament. Features of Wrestling will provide updates when they become available.
