Smackdown’s LA Knight, Santos Escobar, and former NXT
champion Carmelo Hayes all threw their name in for the King
of the Ring tournament which starts next week on WWE
television.

The three join the previously-announced Drew McIntyre,
Gunther, and current King of the Ring Xavier Woods as
entrants.

Tournament matches for the KOTR will kick off on Monday on
Raw and continue Friday on Smackdown.

A women’s tournament, titled Queen of the Ring, was also
announced but no entrants have come forward yet.

The finals will take place later this month in Jeddah, Saudi
Arabia on the premium live event aptly titled King and Queen
of the Ring.
