King of the Ring 2026 Full Tournmanet Bracket & Predictions

(WWE)

ROUND 1

Both tournaments begin today on Monday Night RAW. Regarding the first match of the Men's side, Oba Femi will use the built-up frustration from losing to Brock Lesnar yesterday at Clash in Italy to breeze through this quarterfinal match to move on to the semifinals. femi is coming with a vengeance, and it will show through his sheer physical ability that will come out to play throughout the match.

Femi's opponent will come from the winner of Dominik Mysterio vs Bron Breakker vs Trick Williams vs Damian Priest. Of these four men, two of them (Mysterio & Williams) have championship gold in some way, with Mysterio having the AAA Mega Championship and Williams having the Men's United States Championship.

With that, Bron Breakker will power through and pick up the victory. Like Femi, Breakker also has built-up frustration from the very real injury of fellow The Vision member Logan Paul which will sideline him for several months. He will push through and move on to face The Ruler in the semi-finals.

The third match of Round 1 has Seth Rollins vs Je'von Evans vs Tama Tonga vs Ricky Saints. A reasonable argument could be made for all four men to pick up the victory, as each has some form of motivation. Seth Rollins is seeking to take out The Vision and get back on top once again. Je'von Evans looking to be another part of the push of the younger talent. Tama Tonga is looking to prove himself worthy in the eyes of Solo Sikoa. Ricky Saints is looking to back up his talk with a run at the top of the mountain.

With all of that said, however, the Young OG Je'von Evans will be a part of the next generation push that has been happening in WWE so far this year, alongside Trick Williams getting the Men's United States Championship at WrestleMania 42 and Sol Ruca getting the Women's Intercontinental Championship at Clash in Italy.

The final Round 1 bout has Main Event Jey Uso vs LA Knight vs Royce Keys vs Finn Balor. An interesting note is that the bracket announcement seems to indicate that Finn Balor is being moved over to Friday Night SmackDown, at least for the purposes of this tournament and potientially afterwards. Like with the third match, there is an argument that could be made for all four men in this match as well. Jey Uso is looking to reclaim world championship gold following his loss to Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship last year. LA Knight is looking to step into the spotlight after giving a firm warning to the OTC Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. Royce Keys is looking to be a part of the next generation making their mark. Finn Balor looking to be a world champion for the first time since 2016 after being forced to give up the then-newly created Universal Championship less than a day after winning it due to a shoulder injury.

With all of this in mind, Main Event Jey Uso will pick up the victory and move on to face Je'von Evans in the semi-finals. WWE has been pushing the return of a reformed Bloodline in recent months since Roman Reigns became the new World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 42, so having Jey Uso win and push for world title gold once again would be on-par with recent creative decisions.

REST OF THE TOURNAMENT

Oba Femi vs Bron Breakker & Je'von Evans vs Jey Uso in the semifinals.

It will be Oba Femi vs Jey Uso in the final at Night of Champions, where Oba Femi will seal the deal and win it all.

WWE is going to look to push Oba Femi to the main event scene and this is the best way to do it, so he can challenge Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. It will be one of the quickest buildups in WWE history, but one that will be well worth it at the end of the day.

Queen of the Ring 2026 Full Tournament Bracket & Predictions

(WWE)

Just announced on the broadcast for Monday Night RAW, the match that will open the Queen of the Ring tournament is Roxanne Perez vs Iyo Sky vs Giulia vs Lash Legend.

While there are those such as Perez and Legend looking to make their Mark within their respective circles, Iyo Sky will moonsault her way into the semifinals, so she can at last get the push into the world championship picture, like fans have been asking WWE to do for years.

Next, Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch vs Alexa Bliss vs Chelsea Green. Becky Lynch is fresh off her loss to Sol Ruca at Clash in Italy. Alexa Bliss looking for a World Championship run like her ally Rhea Ripley is having.

However, through it all, Liv Morgan will advance to the semifinals on her quest to achieve two world championship belts at the same time, which would be a remarkable feat.

Then, Women's Intercontinental Champion Sol Ruca vs Lyra Valkeria vs Charlotte Flair vs Jade Cargill. Jade Cargill just lost to Rhea Ripley at Clash in Italy. Sol Ruca had her biggest win of her career thus far. Lyra Valkeria and Charlotte Flair are both looking to make a mark.

With that, Sol Ruca will ride the waves of her Women's Intercontinental Championship win through to the victory into the semifinals, which will be extraordinary for fans around the world.

Finally, Bayley vs Raquel Rodriguez vs Jacy Jayne vs Kiana James. In the view of Best of the Chief, the only one with real momentum in this matchup is Raquel Rodriguez. She wants to prove herself worthy within The Judgement Day, and she's going to get it done here.

REST OF THE TOURNAMENT

For the semifinals, it's Liv Morgan vs Sol Ruca and Iyo Sky vs Raquel Rodriguez.

In the eyes of Best of the Chief, it will be Liv Morgan vs Iyo Sky in the finals. Liv Morgan will come out and interfere in some way with Rodriguez to allow Sky to sneak through with the victory.

Meanwhile, in the finals, Iyo Sky will get her shot at world championship gold once again, potentially challenging Morgan or her best friend Rhea Ripley at SummerSlam in Minneapolis.

The King & Queen of the Ring tournaments are underway today, with the sky truly being the limit, with all of the stars joining the tournament for their shot at world championship gold on the line for the world to see.
