Honestly I can see them making Tiffany the queen of the ring it would fit with her current “center of everything” gimmick and elevate her without giving her a title run too soon as it seems they’re quite hot on her at creative
They really need to make some kind of boon for king of the ring. Like the king can make a title match for themselves or anyone else 1 time. Not right away like MiTB, but like they can make a royal decree and then get a match at an upcoming event. It just meant a whole lot of nothing for Woods and Zelina last time.
I'm just coming back to WWE and don't understand the new K/QotR format. How does it work with multiple shows? Does each show have winners that go on to a final?
Yes. 16 person brackets. Each side for a separate show respectively. Finals will be 1 raw and 1 smackdown superstar for each tourney. Brackets have mostly been 8 people, but I, for one, am ecstatic they made it 16 this time
Tiffany Stratton’s character is like a Barbie. She looks like the attitude era but she actually wrestles quite well. She’s a lot better in the ring than she looks. She’s definitely a star with her character work and in ring work.
as an ex Olympic gymnast she is actually very impressive in the ring. She is one of those people who are just "good at this" plus she is actually quite jacked, and strong, she has a solid gimmick that is working for her, great catch phrases and is confident and smart on the mic. shes gonna multitime champion.
Blair vs Naomi would’ve been better. Naomi gets crushed in typical Blair Davenport fashion. Candice jobs for Tiffany. Blair gets protected in her debut, Tiffany stays white hot
So we’re good at a nxt fight instead of two rounded and long members of a wwe fight to show they deserve the spot? Also Naomi has been losing the past few months more then winning what’s your point? Also didn’t say Blair would win. Instead of a definite loss in her debut
She’s been great since her return, so I wouldn’t be opposed to it, especially since they aren’t putting her in the title scene much anymore, whereas people like Naomi and Stratton were just in a title match
Well winners of round 1 seam obvious..even with their placement in the graphics...but I'd have Piper and Candice win their round ones..let's start actually building them byt getting to the second round... then Candice can carry Chelsea to a good match and Tiffany can look great beating Piper. (It's a very heel heavy side).
Yeah 👌
Chelsea Green, Scarlett, Liv and Tiffy would make an excellent ' Beautiful People V2'
What's the twist?
Tom Selleck / Scatman John. or a guy that looks like him ( Bobby Roode, maybe is part of the group
... dressed as a woman, with a wig on ( Blonde version of Betty from The Flintstones) doesn't match the big brown moustache 😂
He wears a crop top and a skirt, and comes out dancing to 90s dance music. Like Scatman John or some shit.
The twist? HE THINKS HE'S THE MAIN ATTRACTION IN THE GROUP! NOT the hot chicks. AND - He doesn't even act feminine at all 😂
His catchphrase? "Where's the hot chick? I'M THE HOT CHICK!"
https://youtu.be/Hy8kmNEo1i8?feature=shared
Personally, I'd prefer that swapped. For Tiffy's "center of the universe" gimmick, I'd like Queen Tiffy. And with Chelsea's humor, she'd be great with the MiTB
Ouch Blair vs Tiffany... Good match but I don't see how will it help the looser since both are newcomers... It can possibly start a feud between them but I dunno.
Chelsea, Nia and Naomi will win. Tiffany is getting pushed so I guess she will win and possibly feud with Blair until Tiffany is ready for winning the title or Mitb.
Indy is bland, Candice is bland and Piper is not built as main eventer either.
Honestly. Is anyone actually a fan of Candice LaRae? Not shitting on her as a human. But as a character. I dislike her character almost as much as I despise Sonya Deville.
I don’t think Candace or Indi have had much time to be fleshed out. Even this heel turn, it’s been rushed. I am curious to see where it goes but I think it’s a bit of not enough screen time but also not being able to maximize it (see Chelsea)
That we are aware of.
As far as I can recall, only the winner of the 2000 King of the Ring, Kurt Angle, and 2002 King of the Ring, Brock Lesnar, earned a title shot at the WWE Championship with their tournament win.
See, waaaay back in the 80s, WWE decided they needed a king for some reason. Many wrestling legends held this great honor. Men like Harley Race, Haku, and of course "the Macho King" Randy Savage all had the honor of wearing the cape, the crown and holding the scepter.
In 1992, they brought it back as like special or something. And then, in June of 1993, in a time when WWE didn't have a premium live event every month, the King of the Ring pay-per-view was born. WWE Superstars competed in qualifying matches to become part of the Elite 8 who would compete for the crown.
King of the Ring was where the late great Owen Hart became the King of Harts. This was the event Austin 3:16 was born. It is where a blueblood began his steps to becoming a degenerate and eventually "The Game." It is where an Olympic gold medalist continued the greatest rookie year in WWE history. And where a monster showed he was "the Next Big Thing."
Not just the tournament, but some matches became legend. We watched Kurt Angle damn near kill Shane McMahon at King of the Ring. And it was at King of the Ring where the most famous Hell in a Cell in WWE history took place. Those of us who watched it remember damn near every detail two decades later. I have seen Hell in a Cell on WWE board casts and in person and forgot details of most of them. I have never forgotten that one in June of 1998.
King of the Ring would cease being a pay-per-view in 2002. But every now and then WWE brought it back, occasionally on Raw or Smackdown, maybe do the finals on a pay-per-view.
The idea was the tournament was to be a stepping stone, allowing WWE to show off a Superstar they wanted to really make big and the fans behind for their eventual main event run.
Now, there are times this hasn't worked at all. Guys like Mabel, Ken Shamrock and Billy Gunn, for one reason or another weren't able to get to that next level. Other wrestlers, like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, Booker T, Owen Hart, won that crown and made it work for them.
Considering Triple H is a former King of the Ring, and Vince is not messing with the scripts, I'm very excited to see where this goes.
Can't stand Nia, and Tiffany and Chelsea annoy the ever living crap out of me. I actually think Tiffany might get a solo match with Bayley at K&Q of the Ring so she doesn't need the win here. Blair doesn't need to lose her first match and Piper is better than Nia.
Yeah I do think Naomi will probably make it far here
Goes without saying but she’s one of the most talented women in the entire WWE Roster. She’s earned her right to make it to the top
Why would they have Blair vs Tiffany round one? You can’t have tiffy lose right now it would kill a lot of momentum she has built for herself and Blair can’t lose her first match? Gonna be interesting too see who comes out on top with this one
Careful, apparently this subreddit just blows you up if you talk shit about any of Dwayne's untalented cousins.
She's not a good wrestler, or an entertaining one. She's just big. And not, moves well for a big girl. She's not the female Vader. She's just big, sloppy, and below average on the mic
She’s not even strong for a big girl, even her power moves she struggles too pull off because, big does always mean strong. The way rhea or Bianca, and Jade (that Kari transition was insane) pick girls up looks effortless, which results in the move looking great, Nia can’t even lift someone properly up to make the move look good
This hasn’t been confirmed and is most likely fake
If Chelsea in this tournament, means she is losing tonight in. NXT vs Roxy?
Tiff has to win this whole thing
Well, it'll be fun having Blair and Tiffany fighting like they did on NXT.
Honestly I can see them making Tiffany the queen of the ring it would fit with her current “center of everything” gimmick and elevate her without giving her a title run too soon as it seems they’re quite hot on her at creative
I could also see chelsea winning it
Dang we got all the cake well except for Chelsea and Candace
I thought this was fake?
#WWERaw on a post about smackdown is crazy
This is fake
They really need to make some kind of boon for king of the ring. Like the king can make a title match for themselves or anyone else 1 time. Not right away like MiTB, but like they can make a royal decree and then get a match at an upcoming event. It just meant a whole lot of nothing for Woods and Zelina last time.
Im highly hoping its Tiffy time.
I'm calling it, Nia will win QOTR, they are pushing her hard.
Nia vs. Piper To quote Drew "Burger after burger after burger"
big meaty women slapping meat. im interested.
Their thighs do save lives
🤣
It sucks that we ain't getting Samantha's intro of Chelsea anymore at SD
Chelsea winning the whole thing and being "queen Chelsea" as a new gimmick would be gold
Really upset Blair’s set up to lose her first match cause she’s so good but Tiffany is the clear winner
I'm just coming back to WWE and don't understand the new K/QotR format. How does it work with multiple shows? Does each show have winners that go on to a final?
Yes. 16 person brackets. Each side for a separate show respectively. Finals will be 1 raw and 1 smackdown superstar for each tourney. Brackets have mostly been 8 people, but I, for one, am ecstatic they made it 16 this time
Awesome, thanks! I see Nia going over Tiffy in the semifinal, but you never know.
I really want to see Nia get a title run
Especially with Tiffany Startton vs Blair Davenport Match! and LaRae and Hartwell's matches!
Those matches will be cool! r/WWE
They shouldn't have paired Tiff and Blair. Neither of them should be out in the first round
> Tiffany, Nia, Chelsea & Naomi I wouldn't suprised with the opposite either tbh
Why would you put one of you top stars(Stratton) against one of your debuting talents(Davenport) in the first round?
Nia and Piper should team up as a 2 woman wrecking crew
Nia and Piper are alpha females in women's divison! r/WWE
I want Chelsea to win this whole thing just to see how annoying she will be as Queen of the Ring
I don’t hate those match ups
I kinda feel bad for Dakota.
It. Is. Tiffy. Time.
Okay but how many of them will be moved to a house show?
the one on the top left almost has her whammers out. obviously sex appeal is the idea.
Tiffany Stratton’s character is like a Barbie. She looks like the attitude era but she actually wrestles quite well. She’s a lot better in the ring than she looks. She’s definitely a star with her character work and in ring work.
as an ex Olympic gymnast she is actually very impressive in the ring. She is one of those people who are just "good at this" plus she is actually quite jacked, and strong, she has a solid gimmick that is working for her, great catch phrases and is confident and smart on the mic. shes gonna multitime champion.
Yeah she’s definitely the next big thing. My god she’s infectious. “Tiffy time” and “Tiffany epiphany” are genius.
I thought I would hate her when she first started, but God damn if she isn't one of my favourites out of everyone rigjt now
Naomi!!
Stratton goes all the way.
So the SmackDown bracket only has one face character? Are they turning Piper, Chelsea, and Tiffany as faces or something?
Is on USA Network in 2025. 2024 is on FOX.
??????
I know y'all love hhh booking, but literally everything is so predictable. Naomi, Tiffy, nia will all win . And theres no chance it doesn't happen.
i could see candice cheating her way past naiomi given her recent heel turn events. but otherwise yea.
Yeah I honestly can’t remember the last time I was genuinely surprised by a result
You say this like it already happened, we can hope for an upset
I'm definitely banking on an upset happening. It's more fun than what's expected to happen.
I could see Naomi losing early on but not round one, but not the others :(
Everything has been predictable. No surprises at all. Not just this card
we want queen indi!
Blair vs Naomi would’ve been better. Naomi gets crushed in typical Blair Davenport fashion. Candice jobs for Tiffany. Blair gets protected in her debut, Tiffany stays white hot
Blair versus Tiffany doesn’t show the world how good they actually deserve a spot, should’ve been naomi versus Blair and Candice versus Tiffany no?
So Naomi can lose to her? We good.
So we’re good at a nxt fight instead of two rounded and long members of a wwe fight to show they deserve the spot? Also Naomi has been losing the past few months more then winning what’s your point? Also didn’t say Blair would win. Instead of a definite loss in her debut
What about the mens
Let's go Tiffy
Theire not gonna have Blair loose already, are they?
TIFFY TIME
I have a really bad feeling nia might win it
She’s been great since her return, so I wouldn’t be opposed to it, especially since they aren’t putting her in the title scene much anymore, whereas people like Naomi and Stratton were just in a title match
Tiffany or Chelsea is winning queen of the ring
I see tiff with a pink briefcase tbh
wrong event, but she would make a fantastic MITB too
Tiff will lose if she have to face Nia or Piper. They’ll feed Blair to Nia
Tiffany could take the title queen and run with it, Nia would need some lackeys to make it work for her I feel.
Tiffany could take the title queen and run with it, Nia would need some lackeys to make it work for her I feel.
That would give us a heel vs heel match next turn, which is weird but they're doing face vs face on raw men's side, so I guess it can happen
My vote would be let Chelsea Green be Queen of The Ring and Tiffany Stratton win Money in The Bank
Give me Queen Chelsea please
Tiff has got me Stiff
Go to horny Iail
Why would they put Blair Davenport against Tiffany Stratton in her debut match?
ITS TIFFY TIIIIME
I’ll call it: Tiffany Wins the QotR
For the love of the fans, Give Candice or Indi a win. They’re great wrestlers
WHAT IM SAYING BRO!!
With no character…Candice is not a good heel either
Tiffany vs Blair is weird. Neither should be losing and both are heel
Jesus Christ Tiff.
Stratton v Green would keep their new talent Blair Davenport from taking an L in her first main roster appearance. Odd choice.
Wait is this all the matches for smackdown or just the queen of the ring? Bc I’m goin to smackdown this week 😭
Just queen of the ring. 3 of them are scheduled to happen
Ohh okay gotchu, thank you
NP
There is also the men’s KotR on. You get to see orton vs styles
BET
It’s gotta be Tiffany or Chelsea
Chelsea for queen of the ring will be golden
Queen Tiffy would be perfect
I think Chelsea would be better as Queen of the Ring and Tiffany with MITB
Naomi bout to toss them glorious cheeks all over the ring 🥹
Chelsea falling ass backwards into winning a tournament would be funny but Stratton cannot lose to her and be taken seriously ever again
Chelsea Green for Queen
☝️
Blair vs. Tiffany sounds like it could be quite fun if they get some time.
Chelsea has to win, so she can milk that thing like Booker did.
Holy shit that Nia vs. match might be brutal
Are the house show matches fully off camera, or are they going to be on Main Event?
I did t know they are gonna be at a house show? Where did you hear that
Chelsea and Indy will get the house show match IMO
Big meaty women bumping meat💪🏼
It's Tiffy Time!!!!
This gimmick was made for Chealsea Green!
Damn, I want Chelsea to win this bracket with all of my heart. But she's probably getting squashed by Roxy/Nia.
Where do you see Roxy?
Damn stg Indi looked like Roxy in that pic to me, and I was more excited about that match than I am for the reality.
Lmao 😣
Jobbing Blair out in her debut?
Blair is winning imho, Tiff is bound to win MITB so she can eat the L on this one
Ikr
Blair is gonna lose 💀
cmon. someone got something against blair. 😭 aint no way she loses her first match.
There's no way Blair is beating Tiffany. Unfortunate
I really would like to see Chelsea and Candace advance. I think there’s a lot of potential in Chelsea being upper mid card.
Well winners of round 1 seam obvious..even with their placement in the graphics...but I'd have Piper and Candice win their round ones..let's start actually building them byt getting to the second round... then Candice can carry Chelsea to a good match and Tiffany can look great beating Piper. (It's a very heel heavy side).
My guess nia,tiffy,naomi and cheelseaaaa green wins
why have tiffy go against blair bro, have both shine and move on 🤦🏻♂️
Who is the brunettes in top right pic?
Indi Hartwell and Chelsea Green
Who is the one on the left? Both really hot, bro 👌
Chelsea Green is on the left and Indi Hartwell on the right. If you’re talking about the upper right photo still
Yeah 👌 Chelsea Green, Scarlett, Liv and Tiffy would make an excellent ' Beautiful People V2' What's the twist? Tom Selleck / Scatman John. or a guy that looks like him ( Bobby Roode, maybe is part of the group ... dressed as a woman, with a wig on ( Blonde version of Betty from The Flintstones) doesn't match the big brown moustache 😂 He wears a crop top and a skirt, and comes out dancing to 90s dance music. Like Scatman John or some shit. The twist? HE THINKS HE'S THE MAIN ATTRACTION IN THE GROUP! NOT the hot chicks. AND - He doesn't even act feminine at all 😂 His catchphrase? "Where's the hot chick? I'M THE HOT CHICK!" https://youtu.be/Hy8kmNEo1i8?feature=shared
Definitely Tiffy Time for round 1.
smackdown is so much better than raw rn
oh they cooking with dogshit!
Dead
Oh Piper is getting squashed huh....
Chelsea should win. It would be perfect for her character. Tiffany should win the money in the bank
I go back and forth on which of these two should win which...it really depends on which of the two HHH wants to be the "serious" acolade this year.
Team Chelsea forever woooooo
Oh yeah. H is cooking.
You know what, genuinely make Chelsea the Queen of the ring. I’d say Tiffany but she deserves a pick briefcase with a contract in it.
[удалено]
Tiffany is gonna destroy Blair sadly
why can't I find any official annoucement besides here
Smackdown looks like a pass for me
[удалено]
Tiffany Stratton, former Team USA Olympic gymnast
Tiffany Stratton
Battle of the chungus, can’t wait
Glad Naomi winning
Solid bookings.
Tiffany for Ms.MITB. Chelsea for QOTR
Personally, I'd prefer that swapped. For Tiffy's "center of the universe" gimmick, I'd like Queen Tiffy. And with Chelsea's humor, she'd be great with the MiTB
Ooooh Piper and Nia is going to be fantastic
Tiffy vs Blair and Naomi vs Candice should both go at least 10 minutes
>Naomi why would you put that in the universe?
I see Tiffany winning it all.
Not so sure about that. I see Tiffany being Miss Money in the Bank though
Yeah that makes way more sense.
I’d definitely not be opposed to her winning QotR but I agree, her gimmick works better with MITB. Same for LA Knight tbh
Is it just me or I think Nia vs Piper can be decent considering how much Nia has improved lately?
As long as they don’t make it a squash match, I’m looking forward to it.
First thought looking at this is, that match is going to be a possible banger! A battle of the Titaness’ 💪🏽
Ouch Blair vs Tiffany... Good match but I don't see how will it help the looser since both are newcomers... It can possibly start a feud between them but I dunno. Chelsea, Nia and Naomi will win. Tiffany is getting pushed so I guess she will win and possibly feud with Blair until Tiffany is ready for winning the title or Mitb. Indy is bland, Candice is bland and Piper is not built as main eventer either.
IT'S TIFFY TIME
Go Tiffany Stratton out of all the women in SmackDowns first round she’s my pick!
Honestly. Is anyone actually a fan of Candice LaRae? Not shitting on her as a human. But as a character. I dislike her character almost as much as I despise Sonya Deville.
I love Candice lmao. And Indi
Alright I guess I stand corrected 😂
I don’t think Candace or Indi have had much time to be fleshed out. Even this heel turn, it’s been rushed. I am curious to see where it goes but I think it’s a bit of not enough screen time but also not being able to maximize it (see Chelsea)
So, I'm new to this ..what do they win exactly? Just bragging rights?
Winners advance to the second round of the Queen of the Ring Tournament. Whoever wins that gets crown and scepter and can call themself queen.
So... Bragging rights? Lol. They don't get like a shot at a championship or anything?
It gives them decent pushes. May not get title shots but they’ll get lots more screen time.
Oh! Ok, I see! That makes sense!
That we are aware of. As far as I can recall, only the winner of the 2000 King of the Ring, Kurt Angle, and 2002 King of the Ring, Brock Lesnar, earned a title shot at the WWE Championship with their tournament win.
Ohh! Ok! Thanks for the info!
See, waaaay back in the 80s, WWE decided they needed a king for some reason. Many wrestling legends held this great honor.

Wait is that Bea Priestley? She’s in WWE now?
She’s been in NXT for years and before that she was in NXT UK lol
shes been since like 2021. but if ur talking about NXT, then yh she just got drafted to smackdown.
No one on the Smackdown side has been built up enough to believable beat Nia. Thus, she's my pick to go to the finals.
Tiffy time wins
Can't stand Nia, and Tiffany and Chelsea annoy the ever living crap out of me. I actually think Tiffany might get a solo match with Bayley at K&Q of the Ring so she doesn't need the win here. Blair doesn't need to lose her first match and Piper is better than Nia.
Yeah I do think Naomi will probably make it far here Goes without saying but she’s one of the most talented women in the entire WWE Roster. She’s earned her right to make it to the top
*Roster not rooster like the bird lol.
Thank you, I fixed it
It’s Tiffy time😎
Why would they have Blair vs Tiffany round one? You can’t have tiffy lose right now it would kill a lot of momentum she has built for herself and Blair can’t lose her first match? Gonna be interesting too see who comes out on top with this one
Its either gonna be Tiffany or Chelsea. Those two would nail it
Just out the Crown on Tiffy right now.
Piper vs Nia and Blair vs Tiffany in Round 1??? Man, WWE really has been spoiling us this week with these matches
Hard pass on that Nia Jax matchup
Yeah she sucks. I really hope Piper gets the win here
Hard pass on anything Nia Jax does
Careful, apparently this subreddit just blows you up if you talk shit about any of Dwayne's untalented cousins. She's not a good wrestler, or an entertaining one. She's just big. And not, moves well for a big girl. She's not the female Vader. She's just big, sloppy, and below average on the mic
