WWE Raw returned to Paris for the first time, holding its inaugural live television broadcast at Accor Arena on June 8, 2026, with the King and Queen of the Ring tournament quarterfinals taking center stage.
Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan advanced in the Queen of the Ring Tournament with a victory over Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, and Chelsea Green in a Fatal 4-Way Match. Morgan rolled up Green for the pinfall after interrupting Green’s own pin attempt on Lynch, securing her spot in the semifinals on her birthday, according to Sports Illustrated.
In the men’s tournament, Je’Von Evans pulled off a stunning upset in the King of the Ring quarterfinals, defeating Seth Rollins, Talla Tonga, and Ricky Saints. The finish came when The Vision attacked Rollins, allowing Evans to hit the OG Cutter on Saints for the victory, per WWE’s official results.
The event also featured two title defenses. Sol Ruca retained the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Lyra Valkyria, hitting the Sol Snatcher to secure the win on her first successful defense. Intercontinental Champion Penta also retained his title against Rey Mysterio with a Mexican Destroyer, though the match was followed by post-match chaos when Ethan Page and Rusev attacked both competitors until Dragon Lee and Chad Gable came to their aid, according to Sports Illustrated.
The Paris show marked a historic moment for WWE at the venue. According to Accor Arena’s official website, WWE Raw’s June 8 broadcast was “the first-ever live TV show” held at the Paris arena, making it a significant milestone for the promotion’s European operations.
The King and Queen of the Ring tournaments will conclude at Night of Champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on June 27, 2026, according to WWE’s official tournament bracket announcement.
