Backstage Note On WWE Replacing King Of The Ring With Night Of Champions

Backstage Note On WWE Replacing King Of The Ring With Night Of Champions – WWE originally announced that its next premium live event in Saudi Arabia would be called King and Queen of the Ring. However, that was changed earlier this month when it was announced that the show would be going by the title of Night of Champions.

Thus, the format of the entire show will be changed as Night of Champions historically features every champion on the main roster defending their title.

Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the reason for the name change will become clear following the Backlash PLE next month in Puerto Rico.

“Regarding the reason the 5/27 show in Saudi Arabia was changed from King & Queen of the Ring to Night of Champions was a booking decision. We were told it will become obvious why after the Puerto Rico show and in the build to the show,” Meltzer wrote.

The WWE PLE calendar looks like the following for the next few months:

  • Saturday, May 6, 2023: Backlash – Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico
  • Saturday, May 27, 2023: Night of Champions – Saudi Arabia
  • Sunday, May 28, 2023: NXT Battle Ground in Lowell, Massachusetts at the Tsongas Center
  • Saturday, July 1, 2023: Money in the Bank – The O2 Arena in London, England
  • Saturday, August 5, 2023: WWE SummerSlam – Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan
