Queen of the Ring tournament

The Queen of the Ring tournament, originally known as the Queen's Crown, is a women's professional wrestling single-elimination tournament held periodically by WWE. Established in 2021, the winner of the inaugural tournament was Zelina Vega. The prize for winning the tournament is being crowned the "Queen of the Ring" (originally simply "Queen"), and beginning in 2024, a women's world championship match at SummerSlam. It is the female version of WWE's long-standing King of the Ring tournament for male wrestlers. The most recent 2026 tournament was won by Iyo Sky.

Like the King of the Ring tournament, female wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDownbrand divisions participate. There were originally two tournament brackets, one for each brand, and the bracket winners faced off in the final. Since 2025, there have been two brackets, but mixed between the brands, which may result in the final being between two wrestlers from the same brand.

The inaugural tournament was held in October 2021 and culminated at the Crown Jewelpay-per-view and livestreaming event. A dedicated event was to be held in 2023 in conjunction with the men's tournament, but it was cancelled; however, it was rescheduled for 2024 titled King and Queen of the Ring. Along with the tournament's return in 2024, it was renamed as "Queen of the Ring" with the winner earning that moniker to bring it in line with the men's tournament. The tournaments have been held annually since, but with the finals instead occurring at Night of Champions.
