WWE King and Queen of the Ring, AEW's Owen Hart Tourney & More | No-Contest Wrestling

Javon Evans is the breakout of the King of the Ring tournament, and on the women's side Liv Morgan keeps rolling, but the No Contest Wrestling crew thinks neither bracket has produced its real story yet.

Hosts TJ Jefferson and Shane Jackson Jr. broke down the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments on their podcast, and they led with the surprise that made the whole night worth it. Javon Evans pinned his way past Seth Rollins, Ricky Saints, and Tatonga to advance.

"I popped so loud in the living room," TJ said. Jackson's read was the same, "this is why I watch right here." Both hosts framed Evans as the latest NXT call-up earning his moment alongside Oba Femi and Trick Williams, with TJ calling himself "happily surprised." "This might be his thing that crescents him into the WWE," TJ said. "I love this for him."

They also handed out the line of the night to LA Knight, who flubbed the Bloodline roster on purpose: "Jay Timmy John Jacob Jingle Smith. His name is my name too." Knight's closing shot at Jay Uso, "Screw your family," set up another chapter of that feud after Uso's entrance got a loud reaction in France.

On the men's bracket math, the hosts agreed the last spot comes down to Jay Uso and Finn Balor, and both landed on Balor. Their reasoning was structural, not sentimental. Three of the four advancing men, Evans, Femi, and Dom Mysterio, are Raw guys. "Somebody from Smackdown got to represent," TJ said, picking Balor and floating a Finn-versus-Javon final as the dream wrestling match.

The Queen of the Ring side centered on Liv Morgan and the Judgment Day. Morgan won and brushed off Roxanne Perez's "a win for one is a win for all" pitch, which the hosts read as Perez testing her. "It hasn't started yet, but you can just see the fork in the road is coming," TJ said. They questioned whether the faction is actually winning or just Morgan, and wondered aloud whether the booking is building toward anointing Morgan as the self-proclaimed greatest of all time.

Both hosts still picked Charlotte Flair to win the other women's bracket and meet Morgan, while noting that if a Smackdown woman doesn't break through, all four finalists end up from Raw.

The crew closed the WWE portion on a deeper point about the tournaments mattering. "Let the King of the Ring mean something," TJ said. "Let them get out there and do something."
