Female WWE superstars now get their chance to shine in their own tournament. WWE announced the Queen’s Crown, the equivalent of the men’s King of the Ring tournament. Presently, the superstars have yet to be announced. However, the tournament will take place across both Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.
The finals will take place at the next pay-per-view, Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. It is important to realize that women were not allowed to wrestle in the country up until 2019 when Natalya faced Lacey Evans. Despite having no idea who will compete in the Queen’s Crown, here are three superstars who might win the inaugural tournament.
Liv Morgan
In truth, Liv Morgan is someone that warrants a push, and this tournament would give her said push. As a member of the Riott Squad, Morgan was a superstar lost in the shuffle of the women’s division. When the group was disbanded, she started to build up her resume by defeating the likes of Natalya and Carmella. Given that both superstars are former champions, it helps big time.

Now that she is on Monday Night Raw, she will compete with Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, and Nikki A.S.H. In the long run, her future is very much bright. Winning the Queen’s Crown would be heartwarming and defying.
Naomi
Undeniably, we want to “feel the glow” with Naomi. She is a former SmackDown’s Women’s Champion, but there was a time where you would not have known it. As an illustration, it reached the point where fans created the #NaomiDeservesBetter hashtag on Twitter after losing to WWE superstar Evans on an episode of SmackDown last year. She is one of the WWE superstars who deserves better for sure.

Fast forward to the present time, WWE listened, and now she is a key player in the locker room. Without a doubt, winning the Queen’s Court tournament would do wonders for her. Coupled with the possibilities of facing Charlotte Flair or Sasha Banks (Team B.A.D. reunion?), Naomi can be in the championship picture by the end of the year.
Shayna Baszler
All things considered, Baszler is one of the WWE superstars who might be the biggest sleeper of them all. Shayna Baszler is one of two women to have held the NXT Women’s Championship at least twice. The other superstar: Charlotte Flair. At the same time, she is one of the few former NXT Women’s Champions to have never held a women’s singles title on either Raw or SmackDown. In either case, it is ridiculous and astounding. Nevertheless, Baszler won the Women’s Tag Team Titles with Nia Jax. To me, she warrants her championship reign.
Moreover, am I conjecturing that winning the Queen’s Crown tournament will give her an instant title shot? No. Instead, winning this tournament will place Baszler in the conversation for a shot at the title. On the positive side, this would have no downside. She showed her edge as of late by attacking Jax and Eva Marie. An MMA background did not stop her friend, former RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey, from being a champion. Why should it deter Baszler?
