Looking at the graphic makes me think we are in for one of the best RAWs in a while, but being realistic, there's no way they give all those matches enough time to be as great as they seem on paper.

Ivy vs Zoey Shayna vs Zelina IYO vs Nattie Are the matches I do not think are going to go even 5min Although Nattie Vs IYO could go longer than expected that is the one to be a toss up. All the mens matches are getting atleast 10min.

I hope the Queen of the Ring and Miss NXT Arianna Grace cross pathes.
That would be a HELL of a feud over a crown and ROYALTY.
Special guest referee: King Bookah.

I really think Iyo might win the QOTR.

I really think Iyo might win the QOTR. I think it depends on who wins the Smackdown side. If its Tiffany, I doubt they are doing heel vs heel in the finals, so I think Lyra would advance to the finals in that case. On the other hand, Tiffany seems like she would be a better fit for MITB, and also getting the next crack at Bayley.

The SD womens matches Naomi being the only face pretty much guarantees she is making the SD finals Now the toss up is between Tiff and Nia.....but it is Blairs first match much like Lyra it doesn't make sense for her to debut and lose her first match so I can see a scenario of someone like Nia costing Tiffy the match and then rerturning the favor and costing Nia her match.

So maybe I jumped the gun on this one I apologize. Nah, itβs OK, no need to apologise. It looks too heel-heavy to be a real bracket to me, but crazier things have happened. I suspect they didnβt reveal it last night at the same time the menβs bracket was shown because thereβll be a surprise return. Either that or the menβs bracket was shown by accident.

It'd feel really f***ing weird looking forward to a Nia Jax match, but I hope Nia vs. Piper is real.

I'm hoping that this many main eventers in the KOTR tournament is a sign that WWE will take the tournament seriously going forward as far as moving someone up the card by winning instead of forgetting about it. Also, I'd like it to be an annual thing again.

Also, I'd like it to be an annual thing again. It definitely feels like a bigger deal than it did in previous years (2010, 2021) with the addition of big name talents. Still going with Gunther to win it all.

Heading into the May 10th 2024 edition of WWE Smackdown, general manager Nick Aldis made the following announcement via Twitter/Xβ¦
βGood afternoon, WWE. Itβs your Smackdown GM, Nick Aldis, with an update and some slightly unfortunate news ahead of tomorrowβs Smackdown. Unfortunately, as many of you know, Bobby Lashley was set to take on Tama Tonga in the King of the Ring, but Iβve been informed that Bobby has suffered an injury during training and heβs going to be unable to compete. Heβs not been medically cleared to compete in that match tomorrow night.
So unfortunate news for Bobby Lashley, but a fortunate opportunity for the man taking his place. And that man, I have decided, will be Angelo Dawkins of the Street Profits. So tomorrow, for the first time ever, Angelo Dawkins of the Street Profits will go one-on-one with Tama Tonga in the King of the Ring. Best of luck to both of those men, and Iβll see you all there tomorrow night, only on Smackdown.β

And still no update on the Smackdown women's bracket. It won't be, but the way it's not been released when the men's has on that side, makes you think they are hiding something big, like a Charlotte return. In reality, all the SD women's matches will probably be on house shows or Main Event to save time and be an afterthought.

This tournament is a bit snake bitten so far.
