Brandon Thurston reported that WWE is doing two premium live events this May. The first is Backlash (just Backlash, no WrestleMania in it) on May 6th. The second is King/Queen of the Ring which will be May 27th which will be the day before Double or Nothing.

This is prrrrobably going to be okay, depending on how they book it. Not everybody needs to be on both shows.

King/Queen of the Ring kinda just feels like a Midcard thing anymore, I guess it's nice it's getting its own event again but the last few winners really feel like they haven't translated to anything

Can we have a face finally win king/queen of the ring this time, another heel doing a generic king gimmick sounds boring as hell

It's not necessary to do A King and Queen at the same show. Do one tournament and let the other gender just have whatever matches.

King/Queen of the Ring surely can't be the actual name?

King of the Ring really just seems utterly pointless with Money in the Bank around. It's pretty much completely supplanted the purpose.

Largely, yeah, though they've been leaning on long, drawn-out title reigns lately, so giving people something to have as some resume filler isn't the worst thing in the world.

More signs of the Vince influence returning. What are the signs? It's not that show that had the silly name dropping the part that made it silly, nor is it the show dedicated to tournaments (which he hates)... Is it running the same weekend as AEW? Just have to make this stuff clear if we're gonna keep crying wolf about this situation.

I don't even really see any potential harm here either way going? Triple H seems to be pretty fond of taking a Takeover approach to PPVs, with a minimal amount of matches and no hesitation about leaving off big names if they don't have anything important going on, and it's not like Double or Nothing is going to be hurt at all by having a separate show for only $5 the day before it.

Every time I see "PLE" it takes nearly 30 seconds before my brain registers what they actually are.
