This past Monday Night on Raw the first round of the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments commenced. During the show, it was revealed that one of the matches in both the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments will be taking place during a live event later in the week. Recently, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared his thoughts on the unique idea.
While speaking on a recent episode of the Busted Open Radio podcast, Bully Ray mentioned that back when he was an active performer in WWE, the talent would often request to do something different during live events. Thus, Ray is loving the idea that the matches are taking place at the live shows.
“I remember back when I was working with WWE, the boys would always request to do some different stuff on live events,” Bully Ray explained. “Why can’t championships change hands on live events? Why can’t we have a little bit of continuity from TV to live events to back to TV? … Anything can happen on any given day. I love the fact that the King and Queen of the Ring has been brought back … Doing it on live events only encourages more fans to get out there, people who want to follow this tournament-style event.” [H/T WrestlingInc.]
The WWE Hall of Famer also suggested that WWE share highlights from the matches on social media.
“I would chop the match up into a social media clip,” Bully said. “‘Here’s the highlights of the match, here’s what you would’ve seen if you showed up … And here’s who’s moving on in the King or Queen of the ring. Tune in to ‘Raw’ to see what’s next.'”
Who do you think will win the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments?
