Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan’s quest to be Queen of the Ring has been stopped in their tracks by a WWE star on the rise.

WWE has brought back the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments once again in 2025, with the finals set to take place at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia on June 28th. The stakes are once again huge for these tournaments as the winners will once again earn a world title match at SummerSlam.

The company wasted no time in getting the action started with a first-round match taking place on the June 9th edition of Raw that was completely packed with stars. Rhea Ripley, Kairi Sane, Liv Morgan, and Roxanne Perez did battle in a four-way match, but Ripley was cost the chance to win when Morgan’s tag team partner Raquel Rodriguez got involved and brawled with the former Women’s World Champion.
