The WWE event, King and Queen of the Ring, left fans with mixed emotions as they witnessed some unexpected turns and errors during the matches. Despite the celebration of Nia Jax and Gunther’s victories, the show was marred by several avoidable mistakes that drew criticism from the audience.
One of the puzzling decisions was the involvement of Bronson Reed in a match that revolved around Sami Zayn, Chad Gable, and Otis. Reed’s presence seemed unnecessary, serving only to turn a potential singles match into a triple threat, ultimately leading to a lackluster outcome where his talent was underutilized.
Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell, former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, faced another setback during the event. Their defeat in a seemingly impromptu championship match not only showcased their recurring losses but also failed to add any significant storyline development, leaving them overshadowed by newer champions without a clear direction for their characters.

Despite Gunther’s victory and coronation as the King of the Ring, his performance against Randy Orton fell short of expectations. While displaying dominance throughout the match, the questionable finish raised doubts about his clean victory, hinting at potential challenges ahead for the promising wrestler.
Moreover, Cody Rhodes’ recurrent reliance on outside interference to secure victories has raised concerns about his ability to win matches unaided. His recent match against Logan Paul in Saudi Arabia, where he once again resorted to outside help, reflects poorly on his credibility as a solo competitor, potentially tarnishing his reputation as a face champion in WWE’s narrative.
In retrospect, the King and Queen of the Ring 2024 event showcased thrilling moments alongside critical missteps, highlighting the unpredictable nature of live entertainment and the ongoing evolution of storylines within the WWE universe. As fans await the fallout from these errors, the impact of these mistakes on future storylines and character arcs remains to be seen.
