WWE King of the Ring continued on Monday Night RAW tonight as the main event saw four men compete to advance to the semi-finals of the KOTR. The winner of the tournament earns a World Championship match at SummerSlam.

Oba Femi and Dominik Mysterio have already qualified for the semi-finals and will take on each other at WWE RAW next week. The second semi-final will be confirmed by the end of this week.

Seth Rollins, Ricky Saints, Je’Von Evans, and Talla Tonga fought it out tonight to advance to the next round, while LA Knight, Jey Uso, Royce Keys, and Finn Balor will battle it out at WWE SmackDown later this week.

The main event saw Rollins, Saints, Evans, and Tonga compete in a hard-hitting contest that had all four competitors spent by the end of it. Ricky Saints put on an impressive showing in the match and always looked to get the win.

He was extremely opportunistic in the match and even worked with Talla Tonga briefly before the MFT member took him out as well. Meanwhile, Evans used his high-flying moveset to his advantage and put his body on the line on several occasions to get the win.

However, his night came to an end after he tried to take Talla out with a suicide dive, but was caught by the big man, who chokeslamed him onto the announce table. Rollins took advantage of the distraction and delivered a Stomp to Talla on the announce table.

He then delivered a super stomp from the barricade onto the floor to take him out of the match. Rollins returned to the ring and reversed a Revolution DDT into a Stomp to Ricky Saints for the win, but it wasn’t to be.

Rollins was denied the victory after Austin Theory pulled the referee out of the ring, before Montez Ford came out to even the odds. With Seth distracted, Bron Breakker jumped him from behind with a massive spear to take him out of the match.

Saints looked to capitalize on Seth, but he was interrupted in his way by Je’Von Evans, who hit an OG Cutter from the top turnbuckle onto Ricky to pick up the win and advance to the semi-finals.
