King & Queen of the Ring semifinals set for next WWE Raw
The semifinals for both the King & Queen of the Ring tournaments in the Raw bracket are set for next week’s WWE Raw episode.
Jey Uso defeated Ilja Dragunov in this week’s Raw main event to advance to the King of the Ring semifinals. Uso will face Gunther, who defeated Kofi Kingston in the other Raw quarterfinals bout on Monday’s episode.
The winner of next Monday’s Uso vs. Gunther bout advances to the finals set for the King & Queen of the Ring PLE set for Saturday, May 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
In Raw’s Queen of the Ring bracket, IYO SKY defeated Shayna Baszler on Monday’s show to advance to the semifinals, plus Lyra Valkyria defeated Zoey Stark on Raw to advance to next week’s semifinals contest.
The winner of SKY vs. Valkyria will advance to the Queen of the Ring tournament finals in Jeddah.
Also announced for next week, Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn will take on Chad Gable in a non-title match, stemming from an angle on this week’s Raw where Gable berated Otis after Otis lost to Zayn. Zayn intervened to make the save for Otis, eating an exploder suplex from Zayn, but avoiding Zayn’s Helluva Kick.
The announced lineup for the Monday, May 20 WWE Raw:
- King of the Ring semifinals: Gunther vs. Jey Uso
- Queen of the Ring semifinals: Lyra Valkyria vs. IYO SKY
- Sami Zayn vs. Chad Gable
