The King and Queen of the Ring tournaments are returning next week and the finals will take place at Night of Champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia later this month.

The two winners of these tournaments will receive title shots of their respective brands come SummerSlam in August.

The announcement was done by Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis and Raw General Manager Adam Pearce on last night’s episode of Smackdown.
