The WWE universe is abuzz with excitement as the road to the inaugural King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event (PLE) heats up. Monday’s WWE RAW delivered an action-packed show, setting the stage for the highly anticipated event later this month. WWE Superstars Becky Lynch and Sami Zayn, who are scheduled to defend their titles at the PLE, shared an emotional moment backstage, which they later posted on Instagram.
Lynch, the Women’s World Champion, defeated Dakota Kai in a 10-minute non-title match, albeit via disqualification due to IYO SKY and Kairi Sane’s interruption. The Man was later saved by Lyra Valkyria from a brutal attack by Damage CTRL, but Liv Morgan caught her off guard with a sneak attack from behind. This intense confrontation has set the tone for their upcoming title match at the PLE.
Meanwhile, Sami Zayn, the Intercontinental Champion, emerged victorious over Otis in a non-title match with a thrilling Helluva Kick in just over two minutes. Zayn’s heroics didn’t stop there, as he later saved his opponent from bullying by Chad Gable, who had caused the loss by berating his partner. This thrilling match has fans eagerly anticipating Zayn’s title defense against Bronson Reed and Chad Gable in a Triple Threat match at the PLE.
The Instagram post by Lynch and Zayn, featuring a backstage photo from the Gorilla Position, has generated immense buzz among fans. Zayn captioned his upload with a subtle three-word brag, while Lynch paid tribute to her fellow redhead. This heartwarming moment has added to the excitement building up to the PLE.
The inaugural King and Queen of the Ring PLE is set to take place on Saturday, May 25, at the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia. In addition to Lynch and Zayn’s title defenses, the event will feature tournament finals to crown the 23rd King of the Ring and the second Queen of the Ring. The winners of next week’s semifinal matches, Gunther vs. Jey Uso and IYO SKY vs. Lyra Valkyria, will earn their spots in the finals. The main event promises to be a thrilling Champion vs. Champion match between WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and United States Champion Logan Paul. With just a few weeks to go, the excitement is palpable, and fans can’t wait to witness the inaugural King and Queen of the Ring PLE.
