WWE Reportedly Scraps King of the Ring Tournament for 2025 – WWE will not be bringing back the King of the Ring tournament as part of its premium live event schedule this year. While the company revived the tournament in 2024 alongside Queen of the Ring, the latest reports indicate that the event will not return in 2025.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on SportsKeeda’s Backstage Pass Patreon, WWE’s next trip to Saudi Arabia will feature Night of Champions on June 28, rather than a King of the Ring event.
“We have details regarding another PLE, this time coming to Saudi Arabia. The event will take place on Saturday, June 28, and as of now, here’s the real news—it is titled Night of Champions, not King of the Ring, as it was last year. So, no King of the Ring currently on the schedule. However, we return to Saudi Arabia on Saturday, June 28, for the only PLE of the year in Saudi Arabia. This year will be titled Night of Champions,” the report stated.
The King of the Ring tournament, which originally started as an annual pay-per-view in 1993, was discontinued as a standalone event after 2002 due to declining buy rates. Since then, WWE has occasionally held tournaments on television or special events before reviving it in 2024 as a major PLE.
As of now, there is no indication that the tournament will return in another format this year. We will provide updates if WWE makes any further announcements.
