Considering the fact that WWE brought in 2.12 million viewers for SmackDown this week, that King of the Ring special did pretty well for itself. We will have to see if more specials are incoming, but it’s hard to imagine that Fox is disappointed by those results.

The 2021 King of the Ring and Queen’s Crown tournaments will kick off with the season premier of SmackDown. Those tournaments will reportedly conclude at Crown Jewel on October 21st.
