What transpires in the desert? - Anticipated WWE regal schemes!
Get ready for a thrilling showdown! On May 25, the legendary "King of the Ring" and "Queen of the Ring" tournaments will reach their peak in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This is where the next title holders will be crowned (7 p.m., WWE Network). WWE is prepared to propel emerging stars to new heights and transform them into headliners.
There's no doubt about it: the rumor mill in America is buzzing with excitement! It's being said that WWE has huge plans in store, and these three superstars are thought to be the most likely winners! But there are also two insider tips to watch out for.
GUNTHER
The charismatic Austrian who broke records as Intercontinental Champion has been tipped to be a top contender. It was expected for him to rise through the ranks and lock horns with champion Cody Rhodes eventually. On RAW, he left Irishman Sheamus bloodied and victorious. What an incredible match!
ILYA DRAGUNOV
WWE's new boss, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, has big plans for this Russian, raised in Germany. He's predicted to receive a monstrous push if he grabs the "King of the Ring" title. In the first round of RAW, he and Ricochet delivered an insane face-off, with Dragunov securing the victory. Fans can't wait for him to face off against Gunther, who's known for their classic encounters at NXT UK. However, Judgment Day may cause trouble in the second round.
CARMELO HAYES
With a small stature but a big heart, Carmelo Hayes is considered to be a promising rising star in the WWE. The former NXT champ is set for a bright future. The first round of SmackDown pits him against Baron Corbin, who's just been transferred from NXT. Hayes could go deep in the tournament, but a tough opponent like AJ Styles or Randy Orton awaits in the next round.
Who might be the dark horses? In the US, the beloved LA Knight may have a bigger part in this tournament. He's destined to become a champion, even if the ultimate gold isn't his fate. At least the crown will be a victory to cherish.
Another contender is Santo Escobar, who may be getting one last chance to make his mark in the WWE. The officials highly rate him, especially since he resonates with the Latino audience. He has an uphill battle in the tournament, but there's a glimmer of hope.
Only the "RAW" women's side of the tournament tree is revealed. Many insiders consider Aoife Valkyrie, the former NXT Women's Champion (from Ireland), a favorite to take the crown. She already put down a challenge against Dakota Kai in the first round of "RAW".
Besides the two crowning matches, other contests are scheduled at this highly-anticipated event:
The World Women's Championship will see Becky Lynch defend her title against Liv Morgan.
There'll be a triple threat contest for the Intercontinental Championship: Sami Zayn vs. Challengers Bronson Reed and Chad Gable.
