The finals of this year’s King of the Ring tournament will be happening at Night of Champions on June 27, 2026. Whoever wins the match will get a championship match at this year’s SummerSlam, happening on August 1 and 2.<\/p>\n

So far, Dominik Mysterio, Je’Von Evans, and Oba Femi have qualified for the semifinals<\/a>. The last match will be held on Friday Night SmackDown this Friday between Finn Balor, Jey Uso, LA Knight, and Royce Keys.<\/p>\n

The winner of that match will face Evans, leaving Femi vs. Mysterio as the other match. Whoever wins the two semifinal matches will face each other at Night of Champions.<\/p>\n

On the June 8 episode of Monday Night Raw, Femi came out to talk about the upcoming match despite the rumors<\/a> of a third match with Brock Lesnar. Unfortunately, he didn’t get too far before Mysterio interrupted him to try to get him angry. Would this be a good strategy, or would Mysterio pay the price for interrupting WWE’s hottest rising star?<\/p>\n

Dominik Mysterio Gets Beat Down by Oba Femi, but Leaves Unharmed<\/h2>\n

The past couple of months have been very busy for both Femi and Mysterio. Femi had an amazing Royal Rumble, eliminating five people and lasting nearly 40 minutes before being eliminated by Brock Lesnar. He answered Lesnar’s open challenge for WrestleMania: Vegas, winning easily.<\/p>\n

Afterward, he started an open challenge<\/a> of his own, which ended after another attack by Lesnar. They faced off at Clash in Italy, where he lost. With one win between them, there’s no telling when Lesnar will come back for the third match.<\/p>\n

Dominik Mysterio has also had a good year, despite kicking Balor out<\/a> of Judgment Day. He held the WWE Intercontinental Championship until March, losing it to Penta. He’s also the current AAA Mega Champion, winning it last September. Winning the King of the Ring tournament could be the first step in becoming a double champion once again.<\/p>\n

Mysterio interrupted<\/a> Femi’s promo with the AAA Mega Championship in his hands and a chorus of boos raining down from the fans. Mocking his worrying about when the third match with Lesnar will take place, he said he should’ve been worried about Dirty Dom.<\/p>\n

He then called him a rookie, which caused the crowd to chant “OBA” several times, showing just how popular Femi has become. Then he insulted how long he’s been on the main roster, said he was a 20-year veteran, and that he’ll rule over the Ruler once he wins the King of the Ring tournament.<\/p>\n

As he got up on the apron, it seemed like he had an advantage over Femi. His fellow Judgment Day faction member JD McDonagh arrived with a chair. He hit it against Femi’s back, but nothing happened. Femi turned around and stared at the chair for a few seconds. McDonagh attempted to hit him again, but got punched in the face and sent out of the ring.<\/p>\n

Oba Femi then grabbed onto his hair and tried to force him back inside. But Mysterio, sensing that his friend was in trouble, delivered a 619 to break the hold. He got up to the top rope, but Femi caught him. Then he got sent across the ring with one of Femi’s trademark tosses. It looked like he was going to be in some more trouble with a possible Fall from Grace headed his way.<\/p>\n

But McDonagh grabbed him by the leg and out of the ring before any more damage could be done to him. As the two of them headed to the back, Oba Femi had one more warning before their match. He said that even though Rey Mysterio is his father, he will be his Daddy next Monday. With the winner heading to Night of Champions, the match has huge stakes for both men, meaning both of them will give it their all to win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
