Last updated: June 28, 2026 — After Night of Champions June 27 in Riyadh.
The King of the Ring 2026 tournament has its first finalist — Oba Femi destroyed Dominik Mysterio in just 4 minutes and 36 seconds on Raw June 15 from Baltimore to advance to the King of the Ring final at Night of Champions 2026. IYO SKY defeated Raquel Rodriguez on the same show to reach the Queen of the Ring final. The King and Queen of the Ring 2026 finals take place at Night of Champions on June 27 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Two semi-finals remain: Jey Uso vs Je’Von Evans (King of the Ring) and Charlotte Flair vs Liv Morgan (Queen of the Ring). Those results will determine who faces Femi and SKY in Riyadh.
The winner of the King of the Ring 2026 tournament earns a world championship match at SummerSlam on August 1-2 in Minneapolis. The winner of the Queen of the Ring 2026 tournament earns a women’s world championship match at SummerSlam. Femi’s post-match promo left no doubt about his intentions: “When all is said and done, I will be king, and you will just be the man who ran from Oba Femi” — a direct challenge to Brock Lesnar.

Semi-Finals
Semi-Final 1: Oba Femi def. Dominik Mysterio (4:36) — Raw, June 15, Baltimore
A squash. Mysterio tried to bail three times before the match even started. JD McDonagh attempted to interfere twice — Femi knocked him off the apron with a massive right hand both times. Mysterio tried to use the timekeeper’s hammer from his boot, but Femi caught him and hit a double chokeslam on both Mysterio and McDonagh simultaneously, followed by running uppercuts in the corners. Femi finished Mysterio with the Fall From Grace in just 4 minutes and 36 seconds — the most dominant semi-final in King of the Ring history.
Post-match, Femi grabbed the mic: “I am one match away from the crown. I will beat Jey Uso, Je’Von Evans, or even Brock Lesnar. I’m surprised Lesnar didn’t show his face tonight. When all is said and done, I will be king, and you will just be the man who ran from Oba Femi.”

King Of The Ring 2026 Predictions: Finals Preview
With Oba Femi and IYO SKY confirmed as finalists, the King of the Ring predictions focus on who they’ll face at Night of Champions.
KOTR Final — Oba Femi vs ???
If Jey Uso wins on SmackDown June 19: The final becomes a Bloodline-adjacent match. Femi declared he wants a world title shot — if he wins King of the Ring and faces Roman Reigns at SummerSlam, Jey standing in his path creates a fascinating family dynamic. Jey winning King of the Ring and challenging Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship remains the emotional favourite storyline.
If Je’Von Evans wins: The Cinderella story reaches its peak. Evans — an NXT call-up who only advanced because The Vision attacked Rollins — facing the most dominant wrestler in the tournament would be a David vs Goliath final.
QOTR Final — IYO SKY vs ???
If Charlotte Flair wins: A clash of generations. Flair’s 14 world championships vs SKY’s redemption arc since WrestleMania 42.
If Liv Morgan wins: The Women’s World Champion enters the final already holding the title she’d be challenging for — unprecedented in Queen of the Ring history.
