WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque announced at the King and Queen of the Ring Kickoff show held at the WWE Experience in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia that the winners of the two tournaments will get something more than just a crown.
Triple H said that the two Superstars who will walk out of Jeddah as king and queen will receive a championship opportunity on their respective brand at the upcoming SummerSlam in Cleveland.
Gunther has already secured a spot in the final while the Smackdown finalist will be determined tomorrow in a match between Randy Orton and Tama Tonga. Lyra Valkyria is also in the finals for Raw and her opponent will be either Bianca Belair or Nia Jax.
The stipulation will certainly increase the importance of the two tournaments as they could end up main eventing the biggest event of the Summer. WWE has two more PLEs after King and Queen of the Ring in the form of Clash at the Castle and Money In The Bank.
