This weekend, the world of professional wrestling will converge on Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) presents the inaugural King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event. The highly anticipated event will take place at the Jeddah Super Dome, a familiar venue for WWE fans, having previously hosted Elimination Chamber 2022 and Night of Champions 2023.
The King and Queen of the Ring event promises to be an unforgettable experience, with three massive title matches lined up, in addition to the crowning of new WWE royalty. The Undisputed WWE Championship, Intercontinental Championship, and Women’s World Championship will all be on the line, setting the stage for an electrifying evening of wrestling action.

In the main event, Cody Rhodes is heavily favored to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship against Logan Paul.
The King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring tournament finals will also take center stage, with Gunther facing the winner of Randy Orton vs. Tama Tonga, and Lyra Valkyria taking on the winner of Nia Jax vs. Bianca Belair. Odds for these matches are expected to be released once the brackets are finalized on Friday’s go-home SmackDown.
WWE’s return to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia marks a significant milestone for the company, with WWE SmackDown also airing from the country for the first time on Friday. Triple H took to social media to hype the shows, boarding the company jet to generate excitement among fans.
