There have also been some KotR qualifers for the 10th annual PPV.
RAW: Monday, June 17
X-Pac vs. Rob Van Dam
Booker T vs. Brock Lesnar
SmackDown!: Thursday, June 20
Big Valbowski vs. Chris Jericho
Test vs. Hardcore Holly
This will determine who will be in the semi-finals of king of the Ring at the PPV.
I've also had news on Hogan Vs. Angle.
Triple H Vs. Undertaker
The Undertaker is once again WWE Champion, and to say that the Dead Man has been a dominant champion would be an understatement. Since capturing the title from Hollywood Hulk Hogan at Judgment Day, Taker has been a force to be reckoned with. It is apparent that Big Evil is determined to make his fourth WWE Title reign his most dominant.
One superstar who would like to cut that reign short is Triple H, himself a five-time former WWE Champion. The Game has been nipping at Taker's heels for months now, including back in April, when the two were scheduled to face off at Backlash, until Mr. McMahon's political ploys canceled that.
Triple H and Undertaker are certainly no strangers to each other. At WrestleMania X-Seven in April 2001, the two squared off one-on-one on Pay-Per-View for the very first time, with Undertaker picking up the pinfall victory in his home state of Texas.
But this time, the most coveted prize in sports entertainment -- the WWE Undisputed Championship -- is on the line, at one of the biggest Pay-Per-Views of the year. Will Triple H go for his Last Ride? Or will the Undertaker taste the Pedigree as a new champion is crowned? Find out at King of the Ring!
Hogan Vs. Kurt Angle
Don't let the above picture fool you -- these days Kurt Angle is as bald as Dr. Evil. And on the June 13 episode of SmackDown!, it was Hollywood Hulk Hogan who removed Angle's makeshift wig to show that fact to the world.
But any fan who knows Hogan and Angle knows that this rivalry is about more than just hair. Both of these superstars fashion themselves as American icons. Angle, an Olympic gold medalist, is always clad in red, white and blue. And for years, Hogan marched to the ring to his infamous theme song, which blared, "I am a real American!"
Both Hogan and Angle are former WWE Champions, and both are icons in sports entertainment. At King of the Ring, two icons will clash, and only one bald man will emerge victorious!
The Womens title will be on theline - Trish Vs. Molly
Molly Holly has been a top contender in the Women's Division for a year and a half now, but has yet to hold the WWE Women's Championship. Trish Stratus, on the other hand, has been a two-time champion during her two-year WWE tenure.
This rivalry escalated on the June 10 episode of RAW, when Trish poked fun at the size of Molly's posterior. But it was Molly who got the last laugh on that night, pinning Trish to earn a shot at the Women's Championship.
Molly's change of attitude in the past few months has helped her immensely, as she has been more successful than ever in the squared circle. But Trish is a proven champion. Who will win this battle of the divas? Find out at King of the Ring!
See you after the PPV for a full on review!
