The final two Fatal 4-Way matches in Round 1 of the 2025 WWE King & Queen of the Ring tournaments took place on the June 16th edition of Monday Night RAW, and we now know the full scope of the semifinals.
Vying for the queen’s crown, Asuka defeated Stephanie Vaquer, Raquel Rodriguez and Ivy Nile as the opening match of the night. The Empress of Tomorrow returned after 13 months on the shelf from an injury and scored a pinfall on Rodriguez, who had been attacked by Rhea Ripley, as The Eradicator got some revenge for Rodriguez costing her the other Fatal 4-Way from RAW that went to Roxanne Perez.

Taking one step closer to becoming King of the Ring is Jey Uso, who defeated Big Bronson Reed, Rusev and Sheamus.
The ending sequence saw lots of interference, with Bron Breakker trying to cost Uso, only for Sami Zayn and PENTA to take him out, and LA Knight to go after Reed, leaving him vulnerable to some splashes from the former world heavyweight champion, who ate the pinfall. After the match, Seth Rollins came out, ready to attack Uso, only for Cody Rhodes to stand in his way.
