In its short history, the WWE Queen of the Ring has produced some massive winners, with the likes of Nia Jax and Jade Cargill going on to do amazing things after winning the tournament. On WWE SmackDown, live from the Olimpic Arena in Barcelona, Spain, one massive star already declared for the King of the Ring. Now, on the women’s side, we have another heavy-hitter who put her hat into the equation.
Queen of the Ring 2026 Just Got Bigger
Backstage on this week’s WWE SmackDown in Barcelona, Spain, we saw WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Brie Bella and Paige get interviewed about their recent successful title defense, with both women saying they’re ready and they’re not about to stop being fighting champions. A certain faction heard that and laid claim to being next in line: Fatal Influence.
Jacy Jayne would say that Brie and Paige better have eyes in the back of their heads as Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley are gunning for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. After that stern warning, Jacy Jayne would declare for the Queen of the Ring, essentially treating it as the first step in her master plan to take over the WWE SmackDown women’s division.
Since their arrival on the WWE SmackDown after WrestleMania 42, Jacy Jayne and Fatal Influence as a whole have put the SmackDown Women’s roster on notice, getting into battles with WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley, legends like Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, with Jayne defeating “The Queen” in her major win on the WWE main roster.
Now that Fatal Influence has made it known what they’re aiming for, everyone should be in tip-top shape, as Jacy Jayne and her crew aren’t playing around, and they’re ready to take over. The Queen of the Ring has made stars into superstars, and if Jacy Jayne wants to stamp her name in the WWE history books, winning this tournament will be the way to go.
