Okay, so, I’ve been glued to the wrestling scene lately, and the King and Queen of the Ring 2024 event was a big one. Held on May 25th in Jeddah, it was all about crowning the new King and Queen of the ring. I made it a point to watch it live – couldn’t miss it!
The whole setup was intense. I got my snacks ready, cleared my schedule, and settled in. The energy was just electric, even through the screen. The main buzz was around who would take the titles. I was particularly excited about the finals, you know?
Setting the Stage
- Date: May 25, 2024
- Location: Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
- Purpose: Crown the King and Queen of the Ring
I followed all the pre-event hype. Reading up on what Dave Meltzer thought was part of the fun. His reviews always add an interesting layer to the whole thing. From what I gathered, Meltzer was going to give his star ratings in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, which I always look forward to.
The Matches and My Takeaways
The event kicked off, and I was hooked from the first match. Every bout had its own flavor. Seeing Nia Jax win the women’s tournament was something else. She really brought her A-game. I was jotting down notes, rating the matches in my own way as they went along.
And then there was Gunther vs. Randy Orton for the men’s side. That match was a nail-biter! Both guys are incredible, but Gunther edging out Orton was a bit of a shocker. I had my own opinions, but I was really curious to see how Meltzer would rate it.
As soon as the matches were done, I started comparing my notes with what others were saying online. Forums were buzzing, everyone had their own take. I found some comments mentioning a Hell in a Cell match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre that got a 5-star rating from Meltzer. That got me thinking about how different matches appeal to different folks.
Post-Event Buzz
After the event, I dug into Meltzer’s ratings. Seeing his perspective is always insightful. He’s been in the game for so long, his ratings kind of set a standard, you know? I noticed he gave high marks to the Punk vs. McIntyre match, calling it a 5-star bout. Makes sense, it was a standout performance.
I spent the next few days just soaking in all the reactions, analyses, and ratings. It’s always fun to see how my thoughts stack up against the pros and other fans. This King and Queen of the Ring event definitely delivered, and I’m already looking forward to the next big show. Wrestling, man, it never gets old!
