WWE King and Queen of the Ring Results: WWE’s King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Levent was last night, and the show had a big impact on the company’s landscape as we head into the second half of the year.
There was only one pre-show match, as Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill defended their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships against Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell in a showcase match for the champs.
WWE King And Queen Of The Ring Results
The show, taking place in the Jeddah Super Dome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, kicked off properly with Becky Lynch defending her Women’s World Championship against Liv Morgan.
The competitive match took a turn when Dominik Mysterio made his way to the ringside. On the pre-show, Dominik had told Liv that he would ruin her title opportunity for injuring his ‘Mami’ Rhea Ripley. With those intentions, he passed Lynch a chair when the referee was distracted.
But it was Morgan who took advantage of the chair, hitting a DDT on the chair before performing her Oblivion finisher on Becky to win the title.
Then came the Intercontinental Championship triple-threat match between Chad Gable, Bronson Reed, and champion Sami Zayn, who received a hero’s welcome in Jeddah.
A contender for the match of the night, the triple-threat match allowed all three men to showcase their insane wrestling abilities. In the final moments of the contest, Gable’s apprentice, Otis, was hesitant to strike Zayn at his leader’s command. He ended up hitting Gable by mistake, which allowed Zayn to hit Reed with a Helluva Kick in the ring and win the match.
The third match of the night was the Queen of the Ring final between Nia Jax and Lyra Valkyria. In a contest between power and technique, it was Nia who came on top after crushing Valkyria with a Bonzai drop in one of the most brutal spots of the night. Nia Jax became only the second-ever Queen of the Ring and will challenge Bayley for the WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam.

Next came the King of the Ring tournament final between Gunther and Randy Orton. The end of the gruelling match saw Randy hit the Ring General with an RKO. Unable to kick out of the mover, Gunther instead chopped Randy’s injured knee and then rolled up the 14-time World Champion for the win. The former Intercontinental Champion will challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam.
In the main event of the night, Cody Rhodes defended the Undisputed WWE Championship against United States Champion Logan Paul. In an absolute classic between the two, Cody hit Paul with a ‘Vertebreaker’ during the match, a move that was thought to be banned in the WWE due to how dangerous it can be.
The champ finished the match after hitting Logan with the Cross-Rhodes. This was Cody’s second title defense since winning the belt from Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, the first being the excellent match against AJ Styles at Backlash in France.
