In the main event of this week's WWE SmackDown, Randy Orton defeated Tama Tonga in the semifinal bout to win the King of the Ring bracket from the SmackDown side and advance to the tournament finals.

From the Queen of the Ring side, Nia Jax defeated Bianca Belair to win the bracket from the SmackDown side and advance to Saturday's tournament finals. After the match, Jax had a staredown with his opponent Lyra Valkyria to send her a message.

This past Monday on Raw, Valkyria won the semifinal match from the Raw side against IYO SKY to confirm her spot in the finale where the winner will receive a Women's World or WWE Women's Title shot a SummerSlam.

In more news from the King & Queen of the Ring premium live event, WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill will go through their first title defense against Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell.
