The tournament will feature talent from the main roster – Raw and SmackDown. WWE has yet to confirm the tournaments nor their return to Saudi Arabia, but will do so when October gets closer.
Baron Corbin was the last winner of the King of the Ring tournament when he beat Chad Gable in the finals back in 2019.
