The world of WWE is abuzz with excitement as the King and Queen of the Ring tournament gets underway, with the opening round kicking off on Monday’s RAW and continuing on this Friday’s SmackDown and weekend live events. The highly anticipated tournament is set to culminate in the crowning of the King and Queen of the Ring later this month in Saudi Arabia. Amidst the excitement, a top superstar has sent a stern warning to a member of the dominant Bloodline faction, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.
Bobby Lashley, the former U.S. Army Sergeant, appeared on WWE’s The Bump to promote Military Appreciation Month and discussed the King of the Ring Tournament. The All Mighty praised the level of talent on the roster, particularly the participants in the tournament. However, his tone turned serious when he addressed Tama Tonga, the only Bloodline member participating in the tournament. Lashley warned Tonga that if he wants to get dirty, they can get dirty on SmackDown, sending a clear message that he’s not to be underestimated.
The warning comes as a surprise, given that Tonga has barely been seen in WWE, but Lashley’s comments suggest that he’s not one to be taken lightly. Sam Roberts pointed out Tonga’s penchant for inflicting pain, and Lashley’s response only added fuel to the fire. The upcoming match between Lashley and Tonga on this week’s SmackDown is now highly anticipated, with fans eager to see how their rivalry unfolds.
Meanwhile, WWE’s upcoming King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event is set to take place on Saturday, May 25 from the Jeddah Super Dome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Triple H took to X to hype up the return to the Kingdom, releasing an updated poster of the premium live event. However, the poster sparked controversy on social media, with fans complaining about the omission of Women’s Champion Bayley and World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest.
As the King and Queen of the Ring tournament heats up, fans can expect intense action, drama, and surprises. With top superstars like Bobby Lashley and Tama Tonga clashing, the stakes are higher than ever. Will Tonga prove himself as a force to be reckoned with, or will Lashley emerge victorious? One thing is certain – the world of WWE is about to get a whole lot more exciting.
