At the WWE Night of Champions 2026 event, the King and Queen of the Ring tournament finals will take place.
This year’s Queen of the Ring has plenty of different options for who could make the finals from both Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.
Looking at the talent from both women’s divisions, there are some dream matches and reigniting of rivalries that could come out of the 2026 Queen of the Ring Finals.
Here are six potential 2026 WWE Queen of the Ring Finals.
6. Stephanie Vaquer vs. Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair and Stephanie Vaquer have yet to face off with each other in WWE
At WWE WrestleMania 42 Night One, Liv Morgan defeated Stephanie Vaquer to win the WWE Women’s World Championship.
Vaquer had her sights set on getting another opportunity at the gold, but Morgan and The Judgment Day attacked “La Primera” backstage on the April 27 WWE Raw, causing an AC sprain injury to the former champion.
Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair has been more focused on the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships with Alexa Bliss, but she has never made it a secret that she desires getting a world title again.
Having never won the Queen of the Ring Tournament, Flair feels like someone who is determined to win this year, while Vaquer would make for a tantalizing first time ever opponent for the 14-time WWE Women’s Champion in the finals.
5. Lyra Valkyria vs. Lash Legend
On the May 25 episode of Monday Night Raw, Lyra Valkyria discussed the Queen of the Ring tournament and reminded everyone that she once made it to the finals.
Back at WWE King & Queen of the Ring 2024, Valkyria came up just short against Nia Jax in the Queen of the Ring Finals.
Speaking of Jax, her current tag team partner is Lash Legend. The duo known as The Irresistible Forces are coming off the heels of a loss to Paige and Brie Bella for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
With these two young stars on the WWE roster, Valkyria and Legend would be a huge statement that the future is now and see them being thrusted right into the spotlight in the Queen of the Ring Finals.
4. Bayley vs. Blake Monroe

Blake Monroe was called up from WWE NXT to SmackDown following WrestleMania 42
Speaking of Lyra Valkyria, her tag team partner on Monday Night Raw is Bayley.
Alongside Valkyria, Bayley also discussed the possibility of entering the Queen of the Ring tournament for the first time.
Elsewhere on Friday Night SmackDown, fans have been getting introduced to the newest member of the roster, Blake Monroe.
Looking to capitalize on her momentum from her time in NXT, Monroe could make her mark on the main roster by taking down the competition to make it to the 2026 WWE Queen of the Ring Finals against a future Hall of Famer in Bayley.
3. Becky Lynch vs. Tiffany Stratton
Back in 2023, Becky Lynch went down to NXT and feuded with then-NXT Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton.
In what would become the best matches of her career up to that point, Stratton came up short twice against “The Man,” who took the NXT Women’s Championship from her.
Now three years later, both women are among the top stars in the entire women’s division with Lynch currently holding the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship and Stratton the current WWE Women’s United States Champion.
Wanting to put a spotlight on not only each lady but their titles as well, WWE could have Becky and Tiffany meet in the 2026 Queen of the Ring Finals at Night of Champions 2026.
2. Sol Ruca vs. Jacy Jayne
Following WWE WrestleMania 42, the company called up several stars from the NXT roster.
On Monday Night Raw, Sol Ruca has made herself at home and stood toe-to-toe with some of the biggest stars in the women’s division, such as Becky Lynch, IYO SKY and WWE Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan.
There might not be anyone who has made a bigger immediate impact on the WWE main roster quite like Jacy Jayne, who alongside Fatal Influence have become one of the most prominent acts on SmackDown.
Pitting Ruca and Jayne against one another would show everyone just how seriously WWE views these two women as the future of the company for years to come.
1. IYO SKY vs. Jacy Jayne

IYO SKY and Jacy Jayne are both former WWE NXT Women’s Champions – with Jayne holding the gold twice.
At WWE Backlash 2026, IYO SKY defeated Asuka and put the rivalry with her best friend to bed once again.
“The Genius of the Sky” is someone who always has to be among the favorites to win any match or tournament that she enters.
Like previously stated, Jacy Jayne has been one of the fastest rising stars on Friday Night SmackDown with Fatal Influence by her side.
IYO facing Jacy would be a massive test for the Fatal Influence leader and show just how far along she is with both women feeling like the favorites to win the entire tournament.
