WWE still presents them on a regular basis and two of them are currently taking place in the promotion. The King And Queen Of The Ring tournaments began earlier this week and then continued this week with multiple matches taking place at WWE live event.

WWE held a first round match in both the King and Queen Of The Ring tournaments during their live event in Chattanooga, Tennessee. First up, LA Knight defeated Santos Escobar, setting him up to face Tama Tonga in the second round. Second, Tiffany Stratton defeated Michin, earning a spot in the second round again Bianca Belair. There will be two more first around matches during Sunday’s live event in Macon, Georgia.
It’s a big deal. Check out the two matches plus more from the tournament:
Opinion: I love the idea of having tournament matches at live events as there is very rarely anything of consequence happening at those shows. It’s also better than cramming another match onto Monday Night Raw or SmackDown, just for the sake of letting the shows breathe a bit. The results both made sense, but it’s nice to see the fans getting to see something that mattered.
