The full lineups for the 2025 WWE King & Queen of the Ring tournaments have been confirmed, featuring some big returns.
Both tournaments will feature 16 participants each, with the quarter-final rounds consisting of four four-way matches, two each from Raw and SmackDown.
Also, the brackets are set up in a way that means all semi-finals will be Raw vs SmackDown.
With the tournament kicking off on tonight’s June 9 WWE Raw, the full brackets were revealed.
The left side of the men’s bracket features the Raw four-way match of Sami Zayn vs Penta vs Bron Breakker vs Dominik Mysterio, and the SmackDown four-way of Randy Orton vs LA Knight vs Aleister Black vs Carmelo Hayes.
This will mark the return of Randy Orton for his first match since WWE Backlash on May 10.
The right side of the bracket features the SmackDown four-way of Cody Rhodes vs Damian Priest vs Andrade vs Shinsuke Nakamura, and the Raw four-way of Sheamus vs Rusev vs Bronson Reed vs a mystery entrant.
As for the women, the left side of their bracket features the Raw four-way of Rhea Ripley vs Kairi Sane vs Liv Morgan vs Roxanne Perez, and the SmackDown four-way of Jade Cargill vs Michin vs Piper Niven vs Nia Jax.
The right side features the SmackDown four-way of Charlotte Flair vs Alexa Bliss vs Chelsea Green vs Candice LeRae, and the Raw four-way of Asuka vs Stephanie Vaquer vs Raquel Rodriguez vs Ivy Nile.
This will be the return of Asuka for her first match since she suffered an injury all the way back in May 2024.
The tournament finals take place at Night of Champions on June 28, and like last year, the winners will earn a world title shot at WWE SummerSlam which takes place on August 2 & 3.
We’ll keep you posted throughout tonight’s show regarding the winners of tonight’s Raw four-way matches.
Tonight’s show features Zayn vs Penta vs Breakker vs Mysterio, and Ripley vs Sane vs Morgan vs Perez.
Perez won the women’s match, with Zayn scoring the victory in the men’s.
