WWE KING AND QUEEN OF THE RING PREVIEW WITH UK START TIME FOR CONTROVERSIAL MATCH

***Keep up to date with Metro.co.uk’s live coverage of King and Queen of the Ring***

WWE is returning to Saudi Arabia this weekend for the King and Queen of the Ring finals.

The legendary tournaments are back – albeit with claims of a curse – with previous winners including the likes of ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage, Zelina Vega and William Regal.

This weekend, the Ring General GUNTHER and Lyra Valkyria could wear the crowns if they can overcome tough challenges, while there could be new champions with Cody Rhodes, Becky Lynch and Sami Zayn putting their titles up for grabs.

Fans weren’t best pleased when Logan’s match was announced, but viewers will be intrigued to see how he matches up to the American Nightmare.

This weekend’s show – which will also see SmackDown broadcast live from Saudi Arabia for the first time – comes amid a run of premium live events outside the United States.

It’s now time to crown a King and Queen of the Ring, so here is everything you need to know.

When is WWE King and Queen of the Ring?

WWE King and Queen of the Ring airs Saturday, May 25 with the premium live event kicking off at 6pm for fans watching in the UK.

How can you watch WWE King and Queen of the Ring?

For the Queen of the Ring, rising star Lyra Valkyria is already building up a great rapport with fans, and if she can somehow overcome Nia Jax, WWE will have made an instant star – although the Irresistible Force against Bayley is a massive bout for the summer.

Logan Paul won’t be beating Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship, but he will put on a fantastic match with the American Nightmare, while Liv Morgan should beat Becky Lynch to continue her Revenge Tour.

When it comes to the Intercontinental Title, Sami Zayn should escape with the gold, but there are definitely arguments to be made for Chad Gable to get the job done – although SummerSlam might be a better time for that.
