-- WWE is holding King and Queen of the Ring tournament this weekend in Saudi Arabia, the tournaments being held for the first time in years. During today's media rounds in the country, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque revealed that the winners of the respective tournaments will secure a WWE championship match at SummerSlam.
"In the past the King and Queen of the Ring, it was such an honor to be in that tournament and to win that tournament on your own, to have that launch you to another place, but I wanted that tournament to kind of stand on its own and I didn’t want to announce this part of it until we got here. But, I’ll let all of you know tonight that the winner of the King of the Ring tournament and the winner of the Queen of the Ring tournament will both go on to receive championship matches with the title of their respective brands. They will both get world title shots, either WWE or World title at SummerSlam."
-- WWE's SummerSlam takes place on August 3 in Cleveland, OH at the Cleveland Browns Stadium.
The stakes just got even higher.
