King and Queen of the Ring 2024 Tournament (PPV)

Live on PPV and Peacock! 5/25!

The 2024 King and Queen of the Ring is an upcoming professional wrestling event produced by the American company WWE. It will be the 12th King of the Ring event, but under a new name, and will take place on Saturday, May 25, 2024, at the Jeddah Super Dome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It will air via pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming and feature wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event will host the finals of both the 23rd King of the Ring tournament and the second Queen of the Ring tournament, with the last tournaments for each held in 2021. This will be the 11th event that WWE will hold in Saudi Arabia under a 10-year partnership in support of Saudi Vision 2030, thus marking the first King of the Ring event held outside of the United States. The event was originally scheduled to be held at the same location in May 2023, but plans were changed and it was replaced by Night of Champions. This will be the first King of the Ring event since 2015, which was livestreamed exclusively on the WWE Network, the first to livestream on Peacock in the United States, the first to air on traditional PPV since 2002, and the first dedicated event for the Queen of the Ring tournament (previously known as Queen's Crown), which was established in 2021. The tournament begins with the classificatory matches on May 6, 2024 on Raw.
