WWE could bring back iconic events, according to recent trademark filings

WWE could be set to bring back the iconic King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring tournaments, per new reports.

The McMahon-run empire last ran tournaments of this nature in 2021 when Xavier Woods was crowned King of the Ring. Zelina Vega was also successful in the last iteration of the women's format, winning the inaugural Queen's Crown tournament. Both victories were assured at Crown Jewel 2021 in Saudi Arabia.

Now, it seems that both the King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring tournaments could return under a new set of circumstances. As reported by Fightful, WWE recently filed a trademark for Queen of the Ring, meaning they could be replacing their Queen's Crown tournament, which was first hosted in 2021.
