The only logical reason for the name change is because Roman’s 1000th day as champion falls on the date, I just hope they don’t end it there because it would suck having the crowning moment be in front of a dead crowd rather than in the US

This isn't ever ending Roman's holding that belt until time stops, and even then, he probably spears time and keeps the title again. |

Last time out, Vega got the tag titles and Xavier didn't do much with his King reign after a couple months. Booker T was the last big deal as King. |

So...Tag belts probably aren't going to be defended then in Saudi Arabia. Ok then lol. Then why even call it Night of Champions? They are treated so importantly at this point that they main evented one night of Mania and the tag champs are probably main eventing Backlash or co-main with Cody/Brock. Just seems goofy (not that they should even be doing Saudi shows but that's neither here nor there) As if it'd be the first time that they didn't have ALL the belts defended at Night of Champions lol. Also, as I stated in my first post in this thread I DID say it was either Usos get the belts back at Backlash or we don't see the belts get defended due to Zayn not being there. And, also, it's not like WWE doesn't constantly do goofy stuff  |

Well the good news is we're spared two tournaments that going by WWE's horrible track record with tournaments since the 2010's would've very likely been absolutely horrible and booked terribly and would've ended up being pointless and a complete waste of time.
On the other hand the bad news is the pretty much guarantees the Usos are winning the tag titles right back.

Understandable. The people could think that it's possible to crown a new king.

I was shocked they did a "Queen's Crown" for KSA last year because of their attitude toward females but, figured the name was benign enough for them to get away with it. A "Queen of the Ring" implies power and I kinda figured that wouldn't go over well.
I know it seems silly and probably woefully ignorant on my part but that was my first though on hearing that idea originally, the name change makes more sense in that logic.

At least it isn't a King of Queens PLE. Kevin James shows off his wrestling cred (he WAS an amateur wrestler, he was on the same squad as Mick Foley)! |

that means KO and Sami either drop the belts before then, to get written out via injury to avoid going
and in the recent past no one has been elevated by winning King of the Ring

If they put the belts back on the USO’s, then the “let it play out” defenses are invalidated afterwards.

If anything, this could be the show in which Cody becomes a Straight up Bitch, five years ago you had Roman choke in the first Saudi PPV and then Strowman bottling it a few months later. |

Good. Now, I don't have to watch 10 years of King of The Ring PPVs. I don't have time to watch 10 3 hour PPVs. I already have a Night of Champions page on my site, so I would just have to update that when the show is over. I like it better because King & Queen of The Ring was too long for a PPV name. I still hope they do the KOTR & QOTR Tournaments & have the finals at Night of Champions. Also, unless Owens & Zayn lose the Tag Team Titles before Night of Champions, not every Championship will be defended on the show, as they do not travel to Saudi Arabia. But that's not a big deal because not every title has to be defended at Night of Champions, which has happened in the past. To save time and space they could have gone with Royalty of the Ring. |
