Gunther defeated Randy Orton to become the 2024 King of the Ring.
The King and Queen of the Ring PLE officially crowned the winners of both the King and Queen tournaments. While Nia Jax took the crown from recent main roster call-up Lyra Valkyria, Randy Orton and Gunther went to war to cement themselves as one of the greats. This year's tournament marks the first since 2021 where the first Queen was also crowned.
The match starts off hot between two of WWE's greats. The Viper eventuality gains momentary control and tries to put The Ring General away early with an RKO but Gunther scouts it and prevents that from happening. Orton comes back at him with hard hits which Gunther answers with a chop of his own that sends Orton to the mat. Gunther locks in the London Dungeon but shifts to a wrist lock as Orton squirms out of the holds.
WWE announced that this year's tournaments wouldn't just be for a shiny crown. Instead, they've added stakes that will give the winners a title shot at this year's SummerSlam in Cleveland, Ohio. Since Gunther is on the red brand, he will face Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship while Jax will face Bayley, should both of the champions remain the titleholders through the summer.
