That’s a different way to go. Tournaments are a concept that have been used for decades in wrestling and continue to be done to this day. They are an easy idea as you see wrestlers put into a bracket of some kind with the winner receiving a prize. WWE will be running two more in the coming weeks but this time WWE is going to be using a different method to set things up.

WWE has announced that King & Queen Of The Ring will take place on May 25. Earlier this week on Monday Night Raw, Gunther, Xavier Woods and Drew McIntyre announced themselves for the field.

Opinion: I like the change of pace, as it’s nice to not have to wait for WWE to give us this big group announcement. It can be interesting to see a wrestler make their own announcement as it feels like they are individuals rather than part of a big group. That is the point of such a tournament and it will be nice to see the two of them put together in a different way.
