The Armchair Booker: WWE King and Queen of the Ring Predictions.

WWE and Saudia Arabia tag team in this massive global event on the WWE PLE calendar and we will crown and new King and Queen of the Ring this Saturday. As well the tournament finals, Gunther vs Randy Orton / Tama Tonga for the King of the Ring clash and then Lyra Valkyria vs Bianca Belair / Nia Jax.

We will see Logan Paul against Cody Rhodes for the WWE Undisputed Championship and Becky Lynch booking her ticket on the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour.  Last, but by no means least the Intercontinental Championship will to be defended in Jedah as Sami Zayn takes on familiar foes in Chad Gable and Bronson Reed.

Logan Paul vs Cody Rhodes, WWE Undisputed Championship match.

Although, this will probably be the main event I thought let’s get the most predictable match out of the way first and foremost. Cody Rhodes catching a big dub here against the social media megastar. I understand it will do the rounds online and go viral, but let’s not kid ourselves Cody Rhodes is on cause to retain here.

Prediction: Cody Rhodes.

The Queen of the Ring Final, Lyra Valkyria vs Nia Jax or Biancia Belair.

The regal tournament set up that is King and Queen of the Ring has been used to propel talent through the roof and give life to new career trajectory within the WWE. I feel like something comparable her with Valkyria.

So, who better than to stop the rise of Valkyria than Queen troll herself, Nia Jax. Jax has incorporated a real comedic give no F’s attitude since her recent with trolling talents, fans and everyone in between, giving Jax the Queen of the Ring title could really play on this a rile up audiences from online to the front row. Valkyria’s valiant efforts won’t go unnoticed via Uncle Paul Levesque as she gets give her flowers in due time, but Jax has been quite comical as of late, it would be cool to capitalise on that.

Prediction: Nia Jax

Bronson Reed vs Chad Gable vs Sami Zayn, Intercontinental Championship match.

Triple Threat match, next up. Sami Zayn will defend his Intercontinental Championship against Chad Gable and Bronson Reed. I feel Sami Zayn will retain his championship via babyface shenanigans when Otis refuses to help Chad Gable achieve the intercontinental dream so to speak.

I think more harsh words will be had within the Alpha Academy camp until Towaza and Otis are replaced by The Creed Brothers and then that’s when Chad will accomplish the goal of becoming your NEW Intercontinental champion. THANKYOU! But for now, all signs are pointing towards Sami Zayn retaining.

Prediction: Sami Zayn.    

Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch, WWE Women’s Championship match.

Liv Morgan is on her Revenge Tour; she is after everything Rhea Ripley had. Starting with Dominic Mysterio, we have seen bits and bobs where Liv is acting like Mysterio’s sneaky link, but I think we finally reveal the relationship to the public and have Dom somewhat help Liv gain the WWE Women’s Championship against in a hard-fought bout against ‘The Man’ Becky Lynch.

Rhea Ripley is sidelined with injury and is watching Liv Morgan serve cunt and become the new leader of The Judgement Day seemingly replaced and rejected from a family she thought loved her Rhea is now on the warpath and is counting down the days until Liv Morgan’s downfall.  But for now, Morgan is mother!

Prediction: Liv Morgan

King of the Ring Final match, Gunther vs Randy Orton/ Tama Tonga.

I did think Gunther had this in the back from day one, however the tides have changed for me in the favour of Randy Orton. Commentary keeping pushing at the narrative that Orton has only yet win a King of the Ring tournament before he has achieved everything within his career with the company.

I would give Gunther and Randy Orton 45 minutes of pure methodical wrestling. Chops galore. Give us 40 mins of Gunther and Orton having an instant classic. Orton gets worn out and torn down by Gunther, Orton trying his best to combat and prove he can still go against the ring general. It looks as though Gunther is about to win, but then out of nowhere Orton hits Gunther with the three deadliest letters in WWE. RKO to Gunther and Orton cements his legacy as the one of the best to ever step into a squared circle.

Prediction: Orton
