Before the WWE King and Queen of the Ring tournaments start, Ryan Wohl gives his predictions for each bracket. <\/p>\n
Beginning on this week\u2019s episode of Monday Night Raw<\/a>, the 2026 King and Queen of the Ring<\/a> tournaments will start. This is the third consecutive year that the King and Queen of the Ring will take place. Also, this is the fourth Queen of the Ring tournament in WWE history. Last year, Cody Rhodes won the King of the Ring<\/a> while Jade Cargill was the winner of the Queen of the Ring.<\/a><\/p>\n Check out the King and Queen of the Ring brackets below with my predictions for each tournament. <\/p>\n Check out the viewing information and the card for the upcoming episode of Monday Night Raw.<\/a><\/p>\n King of the Ring Bracket<\/p>\n Quaterfinals<\/p>\n Penta vs. Oba Femi vs. Solo Sikoa vs. Carmelo Hayes (taking place June 1 on Monday Night Raw)<\/p>\n Since Femi is coming off a loss, we should see a more motivated version of himself on Monday in his first King of the Ring match. Unless Brock Lesnar or someone else distracts Femi, this is his match to lose. <\/p>\n Dominik Mysterio vs. Bron Breakker vs. Trick Williams vs. Damian Priest <\/p>\n This match features three of WWE\u2019s top rising stars: Dominik Mysterio, Bron Breakker, and Trick Williams. With so much talent in this match, this should be an extremely close and exciting contest. After beating Seth Rollins at Backlash, Breakker seems to be on the verge of challenging for a world title, and a win in this match would be a great next step. <\/p>\n Seth Rollins vs. Je\u2019Von Evans vs. Talla Tonga vs. Ricky Saints <\/p>\n Although Je\u2019Von Evans, Talla Tonga, and Ricky Saints all have shown they have bright futures, Seth Rollins has a massive experience advantage in this match. This is Rollins\u2019 first time competing in the King of the Ring, and he immediately becomes one of the favorites to win it. <\/p>\n Jey Uso vs. LA Knight vs. Royce Keys vs. Finn Balor<\/p>\n LA Knight needs a victory more than anyone else in this fatal four-way match. He hasn\u2019t been in the world title picture for a few months and isn\u2019t in an ongoing storyline. <\/p>\n Semifinals<\/p>\n Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker <\/p>\n This match would be an incredible showdown between two of the best young stars in WWE. Even though Femi is taller, Breakker is quicker and the better all-around wrestler. Also, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Austin Theory or Brock Lesnar got involved in this match. <\/p>\n Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight<\/p>\n Seth Rollins and LA Knight are 1-1 against each other in singles competition, and a third match in this tournament would be fitting. A victory for Rollins, leading to a second match in 2026 with Breakker, makes a ton of sense. <\/p>\n Finals<\/p>\n Bron Breakker vs. Seth Rollins <\/p>\n After Breakker beat Rollins at Backlash, a potential second match this year in the King of the Ring final would be excellent. I think Rollins would beat Breakker if they faced off in this match. Having Seth Rollins challenge Roman Reigns at SummerSlam for the World Heavyweight title is the best option currently. <\/p>\n King of the Ring Winner: Seth Rollins <\/p>\n The official WWE King of the Ring bracket!<\/p>\n \u2013 Oba Femi vs. Penta vs. Solo Sikoa vs. Carmelo Hayes \u2014 WrestleTalk (@WrestleTalk_TV) May 31, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Queen of the Ring Bracket<\/p>\n Quaterfinals<\/p>\n Liv Morgan vs. Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Chelsea Green<\/p>\n At the Clash in Italy post-show, Liv Morgan announced that she will be competing in the 2026 Queen of the Ring tournament even though she is the current Women\u2019s World Champion. Becky Lynch will pose the biggest threat to Morgan in this match, but I still think Morgan pulls off the victory. <\/p>\n Sol Ruca vs. Lyra Valkyria vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Jade Cargill<\/p>\n Charlotte Flair and Jade Cargill appear to have the best chance of winning this match. Flair helped Rhea Ripley in her match at Clash in Italy against Cargill. Since Cargill won this tournament last year, I think someone new will win this time around. <\/p>\n Roxane Perez vs. Iyo Sky vs. Giulia vs. Lash Legend <\/p>\n After losing her title to Stephanie Vaquer at Wrestlepalooza in September 2025, Iyo Sky hasn\u2019t been a major contributor in the women\u2019s division as a singles competitor. I think that changes starting in this match, as she is the most experienced wrestler in this contest. <\/p>\n Bayley vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Jacy Jayne vs. Kiana James <\/p>\n Since joining the SmackDown roster, Jacy Jayne has made an immediate impact. Jayne already has a singles win over Flair, and I think her momentum continues in this match against Bayley,\u00a0Raquel Rodriguez,\u00a0and\u00a0Kiana James. <\/p>\n Semifinals<\/p>\n Liv Morgan vs. Charlotte Flair<\/p>\n Over the years, Liv Morgan and Charlotte Flair have faced each other three times in singles matches, with Flair winning each time. Although Morgan is a current champion, Flair still possesses the more well-rounded skill set. <\/p>\n Iyo Sky vs. Jacy Jayne<\/p>\n This would be a fantastic match, but I favor Iyo Sky, as she has more high-level experience than Jayne. <\/p>\n Finals<\/p>\n Charlotte Flair vs. Iyo Sky<\/p>\n Flair has had a legendary career and is one of the greatest women\u2019s wrestlers in history. But the Queen of the Ring is one achievement she has yet to add to her resume. I think Flair wins this and challenges Ripley to a match at SummerSlam, renewing their rivalry. <\/p>\n Queen of the Ring Winner: Charlotte Flair <\/p>\n Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan is IN the Queen of the Ring Tournament!<\/p>\n \u2013 Liv Morgan vs. Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Chelsea Green
