Add as a preferred source on Google WWE is handling the King of the Ring final with extreme caution behind the scenes, with Night of Champions just days away.
According to WrestleVotes Radio, the winner of the men’s tournament is being kept under tight wraps within the company. The final will see Jey Uso face Oba Femi this Saturday, June 27, at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
As previously reported, WWE had not made a final call on the winner when the tournament brackets were first revealed. At the time, at least three names were being considered internally to win the tournament.
Now that the final is set, the field has been narrowed to two very different directions. On one side, Oba Femi enters with momentum after defeating Penta, Solo Sikoa, and Carmelo Hayes in the opening round, then getting past Dominik Mysterio in the semifinal.
On the other side, Jey Uso carries the weight of The Bloodline. Roman Reigns tasked him with winning King of the Ring without help after Jey beat LA Knight, Royce Keys, and Finn Bálor in the first round before defeating Je’Von Evans in the semifinal.
The winner of King of the Ring will earn a world title opportunity at SummerSlam, which takes place August 1 and 2 in Minneapolis.
