WWE Queen of the Ring finals to take place in Saudi Arabia

WWE Queen of the Ring is all set to be introduced this year, where the Women’s division will battle it out in an Eliminator tournament to win a Crown. The tournament will reportedly kick-off on the October 8 episode of WWE Smackdown and October 11 episode of WWE Raw.

For the month of October, WWE will also be returning to Saudi Arabia, on the 21st. It is being reported that the WWE Queen of the Ring Finals will also be held during the same event. WWE usually airs mega events from Saudi Arabia on an annual basis, but missed the 2020 date due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Every year, the event has a unique name – Greatest Royal Rumble, Super Showdown among others. While there have been no reports on the name of this year’s event, but it is quite likely to be on the lines of the WWE Queen of the Ring tournament.

The finals of the all-women’s tournament taking place in Saudi Arabia is a very big deal. Previously, due to the local laws, several WWE Superstars from the women’s division couldn’t travel to perform there. But things started to change when Renee Young commented at the 2018 event.

In 2019, history was made when Natalya and Lacey Evans participated in the first-ever women’s division match. They had to wear t-shirts with full-body suits for the match, which was celebrated globally.

WWE Queen of the Ring should not lack high stakes like the King tournament

Corbin recently lost the Crown to Nakamura

The tournament is inspired from the WWE King of the Ring tournament. But one of the main issues with such tournaments is the fact that they lack real high-stakes. Baron Corbin had won the tournament last time, and had gotten the moniker King Corbin.

Apart from that, there was nothing much that he earned from the win. But it finally looks like WWE is trying to add some relevancy to the Crown. Corbin recently lost his crown to Shinsuke Nakamura, and since then he has been on a downward spiral. It is likely that this is being done to add some relevancy to the titles.

WWE should try to add some high stakes to the WWE Queen of the Ring tournament, and it should not be just about a crown.
