WWE has confirmed several changes to the King of the Ring tournament, reshaping multiple matches and introducing new participants into key spots.

Drew McIntyre has officially replaced Ricky Saints in the tournament lineup. In another switch, Sami Zayn is stepping in for Talla Tonga. These changes affect two of the scheduled Fatal 4-Way matches and alter the overall bracket structure.

Royce Keys remains part of the tournament, but his position has been adjusted. He was originally set to compete in a match alongside Jey Uso, LA Knight, and Finn Balor. That spot will now be filled by McIntyre.

As a result, Keys moves into a different Fatal 4-Way match. He will now face Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins, and Je’Von Evans. This reshuffle balances the bracket while keeping all announced competitors active in the tournament.

The updated King of the Ring bracket now features the following matches:

• Oba Femi vs. Penta vs. Solo Sikoa vs. Carmelo Hayes

• Dominik Mysterio vs. Bron Breakker vs. Trick Williams vs. Damian Priest

• Seth Rollins vs. Je’Von Evans vs. Royce Keys vs. Sami Zayn

• Jey Uso vs. LA Knight vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Finn Balor

These adjustments come as WWE continues to finalize the tournament structure. The inclusion of McIntyre and Zayn adds more established names to the field, which could impact the outcome as the tournament progresses.

With the revised bracket now set, attention turns to how these new matchups will play out. The changes create fresh combinations and shift the competitive balance across both sides of the tournament.
