#2 June: King/Queen of the Ring could replace Backlash/Stomping Grounds
The last time the WWE utilized this concept was in 2015 when Wade Barrett topped Neville in the finals of the tournament. It wasn't held as a PPV but was contested over a two-night span with the finals taking place on the WWE Network.
WWE Backlash was recently revamped/changed to 'Stomping Grounds' but the jury is currently out as to if it will have any significance or if it's just the name of a show. Concept PPVs are often more appealing to the fans, especially if title shots are linked with winners. It's why the Royal Rumble and MITB are among the most anticipated shows of the year in WWE.
The King of the Ring could also be joined by the first-ever 'Queen of the Ring' as we all know how much WWE loves first-time-ever matches. WWE needs to create and maintain a new crop of stars because they won't be able to trot out the likes of Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker forever.
Like MITB and the Royal Rumble, winners should be awarded title shots at the following PPV rather than carrying over the title shot throughout the year like MITB or a few months like the Royal Rumble. They could also still walk around with all the royal regalia. Although Charlotte Flair calls herself 'the Queen', how funny would it be for someone else to win the tournament and rightfully call herself 'the Queen of the Ring'?
