Multiple KOTR matches have already taken place on the weekly shows. Oba Femi and Dominik Mysterio qualified for the semifinals and will collide on the red brand. Meanwhile, a few top stars are still set to compete in the quarterfinal.

That being said, in this listicle, we take a look at every remaining match in the King of the Ring bracket and predict the potential winner of all the bouts from quarterfinals to the finale.

#3. All quarterfinals

As of writing this article, the remaining two fatal four-way matches in the quarterfinals of the WWE King of the Ring 2026 tournament are as follows:

The first match features Seth Rollins vs. Je’von Evans vs. Talla Tonga vs. Ricky Saints. The bout looks star-studded, and almost all the competitors have a strong reason to win and come one step closer to being crowned the 2026 King of the Ring.

However, The Visionary has a more personal story; he never lost the World Heavyweight Championship but had to vacate it last year due to an injury. Moreover, his saga with Roman Reigns is without a doubt one of the biggest rivalries in history.

Both have been against each other for years now. Rollins may qualify for the quarterfinals and head to the semifinals to get his hands on the gold and also end his long-standing saga with the OTC.

The second quarterfinal match features Jey Uso vs. LA Knight vs. Royce Keys vs. Finn Balor. This fatal-four contest is also equally matched, but The Megastar has a massive chance of winning, given he has been a fan-favorite, and many feel he deserved a main-event push this time.

#2. Semifinals

The fixed semifinal as of now is between Oba Femi and Dominik Mysterio. Both rising stars are considered to become future main-eventers and have massive potential, which makes it extremely hard to pick a clear winner between them.

While many may pick the Ruler to capture an easy win over Dirty Dom, Brock Lesnar could play a vital role in their match and cost Femi his match against Mysterio, marking a shocking twist, and laying seeds for their trilogy match at WWE Night of Champions premium live event.

For now, Lesnar and Femi stand 1-1 against each other. Their third match in Saudi Arabia would be a tiebreaker. Meanwhile, Dominik would get the push that fans have been asking for him for a while and qualify for the finals of KOTR.

As we picked LA Knight and Seth Rollins to win their respective quarterfinals, both would lock horns in a semifinal. The Visionary’s history with Reigns and his vacating his title with an injury make him a perfect candidate to win the semifinal and punch his ticket to the finals.

#1. Finals at WWE NOC

If things go as predicted, the finals will be between Seth Rollins and Dominik Mysterio at the 2026 WWE Night in Champions premium live event in Saudi Arabia.

Rollins could finally outshine the Judgment Day member, clean and square, and win the King of the Ring tournament. He then could have his long-awaited match against his former Shield member, Roman Reigns, and end their saga once and for all, delivering a five-star classic match at WWE SummerSlam. The winner of KOTR tournament not only wins the crown but also get a guaranteed shot at world title at the Biggest Party of the Summer.

A match between Rollins and Reigns would indeed be a massive office attraction for SummerSlam night two main event. That being said, the angle proposed above is speculative and nothing has been officially announced as of now.

It will be interesting to see what plans Triple H and his WWE creative team have in store for the King of the Ring tournament and who gets the title shot at the two-night PLE this summer.
