Sunday’s bracket reveal set the 2026 King and Queen of the Ring tournaments after Clash in Italy, with winners to be crowned at Night of Champions and earn championship matches at SummerSlam.
The format opens with fatal four-way matches before narrowing to a final four, where singles bouts will decide the men’s and women’s finalists.
Men’s contenders include LA Knight, Trick Williams, Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, Bron Breakker and Dominik Mysterio across two sides of the bracket.
Women’s entrants include champion Liv Morgan, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Bayley, Iyo Sky and Roxanne Perez, with Morgan saying after Clash in Italy that she is “coming for everything.”
Last year’s winners show the stakes: Cody Rhodes turned his King of the Ring win into a SummerSlam victory over John Cena, while Jade Cargill won Queen of the Ring but lost her later title shot to Tiffany Stratton.
