The excitement is building for WWE’s upcoming premium live event in Saudi Arabia, where a new King and Queen of the Ring will be crowned. However, WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Triple H, has already made a few questionable decisions regarding the men’s and women’s tournaments. The Game’s mistakes have the potential to undermine the prestige of the coveted crowns and dilute the excitement surrounding the event.
One of the most glaring mistakes is the inclusion of WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill, in the Queen of the Ring tournament. As reigning champions, they should be focused on defending their titles against formidable tag team opponents, not competing as singles stars in a prestigious tournament. This decision not only diminishes the value of the Women’s Tag Team Titles but also appears redundant and unnecessary.
Another error on Triple H’s part is the lack of build-up for the tournament. With only a three-week window to showcase the superstars’ desire to be crowned King and Queen of the Ring, the stakes are diminished, and the matches lack significance. Had WWE given more time to develop the storylines and motivations behind each competitor’s participation, the tournament would have been far more compelling and each victory would have been more meaningful.
Furthermore, Triple H’s decision to hold some of the tournament matches at live events rather than showcasing them on Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown is perplexing. By not airing these matches on the weekly shows, WWE is diminishing the importance of the tournament and failing to give the participating superstars the spotlight they deserve.
Lastly, the CCO’s decision to schedule only the finals of the men’s and women’s tournaments at the premium live event in Saudi Arabia is a missed opportunity. By including the semi-finals in the event, WWE could have made the spectacle feel more prestigious and the victories more hard-won. Instead, the semi-finals will take place on the go-home editions of RAW and SmackDown, undermining the importance of the event.
Ultimately, these mistakes may detract from the overall experience of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments, and WWE fans can only hope that the event still manages to deliver despite these missteps.
