On that front, Seth Rollins and Liv Morgan’s first-round King and Queen of the Ring matches have now been confirmed for the June 8 episode of Raw.

Because it took place in Italy, the latest episode of the show had a much earlier start time than US viewers are accustomed to.
During the live broadcast of the June 1 show, WWE confirmed the following bouts will take place in Paris next week:
- King of the Ring first-round match: Seth Rollins vs. Je’Von Evans vs. Talla Tonga vs. Ricky Saints
- Queen of the Ring first-round match: Liv Morgan vs. Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Chelsea Green
Oba Femi has already advanced into the semi-final of the tournament after winning his first-round matchup on Monday.
He will now face one of Dominik Mysterio, Bron Breakker, Trick Williams or Damian Priest in the semis, with the winner set to fight for the crown at Night of Champions later this month.
Who should win King and Queen of the Ring
The winners of both the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments will, as has become tradition in recent years, earn title shots at SummerSlam 2026.
From the men’s side, it would make the most sense to have Rollins or Femi win the King of the Ring, then challenge Cody Rhodes or Roman Reigns at SummerSlam.
But unless WWE are planning to give Femi the belt, it may be better if Brock Lesnar comes back to cost him the title shot, rather than having him lose clean at another PLE.
As for Queen of the Ring, Morgan is one of the most popular wrestlers in the company right now, but she already holds one of the championships.
In turn, having someone like Charlotte Flair win the tournament and then challenge Rhea Ripley at SummerSlam could be interesting.
