The 2021 WWE King and Queen of the ring were crowned in Saudi Arabia
WWE held the King of The Ring and Queen's Crown tournaments in 2022 to crown the King and Queen of the promotion. The finals of both tournaments were held at Crown Jewel 2021 in Saudi Arabia.
Xavier Woods from RAW faced SmackDown's Finn Balor in the finals of the men's tournament. After an exciting battle, the New Day member won the match to become King Woods.
