8-time champion to lose & more - Predicting the result of every title match confirmed for WWE King and Queen of the Ring
We are less than a week away from the next WWE Premium Live Event, King and Queen of the Ring. The upcoming show will crown two superstars from the men's and women's divisions and hand them the reigns of the ring.
The event will also feature three colossal title matches, but only one of them may see the championship change hands. Here, we predict the result of each title bout scheduled for WWE King and Queen of the Ring. So, without further ado, let's begin.
#1 Cody Rhodes (c) vs Logan Paul for the Undisputed WWE Championship
WWE pulled off a massive surprise post-Backlash by revealing Logan Paul as Cody Rhodes' opponent for the King and Queen of the Ring PLE. Their recent contract signing on SmackDown revealed that only the American Nightmare's Undisputed WWE Championship will be on the line. Paul previously had an impressive showing when he challenged Roman Reigns for the same title at Crown Jewel 2022.
Additionally, the United States Champion is bound to bring his entourage, which could add to Cody Rhodes's challenges. However, the American Nightmare is unlikely to lose his gold. Instead, we could see Cody fight against all odds to retain his title at the upcoming PLE.
Prediction: Cody Rhodes retains the Undisputed WWE Championship
#2 Becky Lynch (c) vs Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship
Liv Morgan is set to challenge Becky Lynch for the Women's World Championship. She has had her eyes set on the gold since returning from injury but was forced to accept second-best in all her championship endeavors. A determined Morgan now has a chance to win the title and cement herself as a top heel on the red brand.
The Man won the title after eliminating Liv Morgan in the Battle Royal. She has since been involved in multiple altercations with Morgan. The latter's secret storyline with Dominik Mysterio could also come into play during this match, and we may see the Judgment Day member facilitate the title change at King and Queen of the Ring.
Prediction: Liv Morgan wins the Women's World Championship
#1 Sami Zayn (c) vs Chad Gable vs Bronson Reed for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
Sami Zayn will put his Intercontinental Championship on the line at the upcoming King and Queen of the Ring PLE in a Triple-Threat bout. The top babyface is booked to defend his gold against Chad Gable and Bronson Reed. While the champion has only been involved in a handful of grueling encounters with Reed, he has an extended history with Gable.
A loss against Zayn in their previous title match led to Chad Gable's heel turn on RAW. The latter has since left no stone unturned in doing all within his means to get his hands on the Intercontinental Championship. He even demanded the Alpha Academy members do everything to help him beat Sami Zayn.
However, his constant insults directed at Maxine Dupri and Akira Tozawa and a literal slap to Otis's face may ultimately backfire on Gable. The group could betray their coach and cost him the title match at the upcoming show.
Prediction: Sami Zayn retains his WWE Intercontinental Championship
