WWE Raw kicked off this year's King and Queen of the Ring tournaments. A series of qualifying matches took place, including three Queen of the Ring match ups -- Zoey Stark vs. Ivy Nile, Natalya vs. IYO SKY and Lyra Valkyria vs. Dakota Kai who is replacing an injured Asuka. Though the King of the Ring tournament has been around for decades, the first iteration of the Queen's Crown was introduced in 2021. Vega defeated Doudrop in the finals to become the inaugural Queen.
