The finals of the King of the Ring tournament will take place at the Clash of Champions PPV, which will be held on September 15. The next two RAW and SmackDown Live shows will decide the finalists of the tournament.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter have reported on the possible finalists from RAW and SmackDown, with some interesting names thrown about. On the red brand, we could potentially see a match between Baron Corbin and Ricochet, or Cedric Alexander and Samoa Joe.

The report suggests that the SmackDown semi-final could see Ali and Andrade face-off, but the report further states that Buddy Murphy, who has apparently impressed people backstage, could also be one of the semi-finalists from the blue brand.

The last winner of the King of the Ring tournament was Bad News Barrett, who defeated Neville, back in 2015, which was the last time the tournament was held.


#4 WWE 24/7 title producers

The 24/7 title has been one of the best things about WWE in 2019, with the title changing hands quickly, great comedic segments, and R-Truth!

This past week, we also saw the first non-wrestler win the title when FOX's Rob Stone pinned R-Truth, but he was quickly pinned by Elias, who is the current 24/7 champion.

The segment was reportedly produced by Adam Pearce and Bruce Prichard, as per PW Insider.
