Oba Femi and more WWE stars advanced in the King & Queen of the Ring tournaments today, with Femi sending a message to Brock Lesnar after his win.

During the WWE Clash In Italy post-show yesterday, the brackets for both tournaments were revealed, with a total of 16 participants in each with the opening quarter-final rounds consisting of four four-way matches.

Today on Raw, the first tournament matches took place, with the opener being Penta vs Carmelo Hayes vs Oba Femi vs Solo Sikoa in the King of the Ring tournament.

It was ultimately Oba Femi who scored the victory by pinning Solo Sikoa, rebounding from a loss yesterday at Clash In Italy to Brock Lesnar.

After winning the four-way today, Femi got on the mic and pointed out that he took a beating from Lesnar, yet he’s still standing tall and still winning just a day later.

He also reminded Lesnar that their record stands at 1-1 and he’ll see Lesnar again “down the line.”

Femi’s semi-final match in the WWE King of the Ring tournament will see him face the winner of Dominik Mysterio vs Bron Breakker vs Damian Priest vs Trick Williams.

In another King of the Ring related note, it was announced during Raw that Finn Balor – who is on the other side of the bracket – has officially been traded to SmackDown.

Later during Raw, IYO SKY won her Queen of the Ring quarter-final four-way against Lash Legend, Giulia and Roxanne Perez, pinning Giulia.

SKY will face the winner of Bayley vs Raquel Rodriguez vs Jacy Jayne vs Kiana James in the semi-final round.

WWE Makes King Of The Ring Plans Mistake

It appears WWE inadvertently revealed either a scrapped or future-planned bracket for the 2026 WWE King of the Ring tournament today.

The bracket that was shown on the official WWE website was different to the one that was shown during the Clash In Italy post-show yesterday.

The one on WWE’s website today saw Sami Zayn replace Ricky Saints, Royce Keys replace Talla Tonga, and Drew McIntyre replace Royce Keys.

However, during Raw, the one that was shown was the one from the Clash In Italy post-show.

That means the one one WWE’s website was either an old version that changed plans from, or it was an accidental spoiler on changes that will be made as the tournament goes on.
