WWE King and Queen of the Ring LIVE RESULTS: Logan Paul uses FOREIGN OBJECT on Cody Rhodes during title bout – updates

WWE King and Queen of the Ring returned to Saudi Arabia with the Undisputed title on the line.

Cody Rhodes headlined against US Champ Logan Paul in Jeddah - but only Rhodes' WWE title is on the line.

There was more controversy with Paul using a FOREIGN OBJECT during the bout before Rhodes recovered from that - and a frog splash through a table - to retain his title.

Read our live blog below to see how the action unfolded...

  • King of the Ring Final

    Orton is trying to create some momentum wit a series of Clotheslines.

    The Viper tries to hit his Powerslam but Gunther holds on to the ropes and the American lands awkwardly on his bad knee.

    The Ring General follows it up with a powerful Clothesline of his own.

  • King of the Ring Final

    Orton hits a powerful Suplex to create some separationg from the impressive Gunther.

    But it seems that he has added even more pain to his back.

  • King of the Ring Final

    Gunther is absolutely torturing Orton's back.

    The Austrian is exchanging various different submission moves that ultimately stretches the injured back.

    The European star hits a Back Breaker with the knee to the spine but The Apex Predator kicks out.

  • King of the Ring Final

    Gunther tries to hit a Powerbomb but Orton counters and goes for a surprise RKO.

    But the Austrian gets out of the way and the American crashes on his back.

    But the Austrian fights back with some more Chops.

  • King of the Ring Final

    Orton has trapped Gunther in a Headlock and the Austrian bruiser is trying to fight out of it.

    I bet he will soon start targeting the American's knee, which is taped up again.

  • King of the Ring Final

    Orton is brawling with Gunther in the turnbuckle but the Austrian is not at all intimidated.

    The former Intercontinental Champion is a famous hard hitter and the American legend will have to leave everything in the ring.

    Remember, Orton has won everything but the King of the Ring crown.

    The Apex Predator is also only two title reigns away from tying the record of 16, currently held by Ric Flair and John Cena.

    The winner of this match will challenge for a world title match at SummerSlam in August.

  • King of the Ring Final

    Both men sized each other up for quite a while before the match.

    Gunther and Orton start things off with a Hard Elbow Tie Up.

    Gunther is absolutely focused and carries a determined look in his face.

    Randy Orton, on the other hand, is taking his time getting in the ring as the methodical veteran is playing mind games with his opponent by forcing him wait.

  • King of the Ring Final

    It is now time for the men's finalists to lock horns in Saudi Arabia.

    Gunther will face Randy Orton in the King of the Ring Final!

  • Becky Lynch rematch

    Becky Lynch is furious backstage as she lashes out at Dominik Mysterio who cost her the Women's World Championship after her loss to Liv Morgan.

    Lynch then announced she will exercise her rematch clause this Monday on RAW.

  • Nia Jax wins

    Nia Jax is now set to challenge for a women's championship match at SummerSlam.

    The famous event takes place on August 3 at the Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.

    Jax has warned both champions that she's coming for them, she's probably challenging WWE Women's Champion Bayley.

    It's not clear as she accidentally said she will become "WWE Champion".

  • Nia Jax wins

    Nia Jax is the second ever Queen of the Ring!

    Jax tried to hit a Samoan Drop from the top rope but Lyra Valkyria tried to counter it to a Sunset Powerbomb.

    However, The Irresistible Force found an opening to hit the Annihilator and picked up a dominant victory.

    The American gets crowned by WWE Hall of Famer and Chief Content Officer Paul 'Triple H' Levesque.

  • Queen of the Ring Final

    Jax tries to end Valkyria's momentum with a massive Samoan Drop and then looks for the Anhilator.

    But the ex-NXT Women's Champion is playing possum and knocks her much larger opponent off the top rope with a kick to the ankle.

    The Irish star follows it up with a Double Stomp but only gets a two count.

  • Queen of the Ring Final

    Valkyria finds herself a massive opening!

    Jax tries to hit the Annihilator and her opponent moves her head on the ring apron.

    The heavyweight star tries to hi her finisher on the much harder ring apron but the Irish grappler moves out of the way.

    The Irresistible Force lands extremely hard and now she's in trouble as she suffers a Tornado DDT!

    Jax is wrestling Valkyria down to the mat with the help of her power and size.

    That leads to a shattering Samoan Drop from The Irresistible Force.

  • Queen of the Ring Final

    Jax gains control of the match as she bulldozes Valkyria to the turnbuckle twice and then follows it up with an elbow on the mat.

    The Irish grappler is in trouble now.

  • Queen of the Ring Final

    Valkyria is starting the match hard and tries to bring her much larger opponent down to the mat.

    The Irish grappler needs to neutralise Jax's size as well as momentum as The Irresistible Force eliminated both WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair.

  • Queen of the Ring Final

    Nia Jax didn't have to worry about her attire and the ridiculous Saudi dress code...

    Jax wearing the same gear she dons every week on RAW, SmackDown and PLEs.

    Lyra Valkyria, on the other hand, had to change her own suit - at least she got to do a cool Raven entrance.

  • Queen of the Ring Final

    Lyra Valkyria will now face Nia Jax in the Queen of the Ring Final!

    The winner will be crowned only the second ever winner of this competition after Zelina Vega.

    Gable is ordering Otis to attack Zayn by shoving and slapping his top guy.

    The ex-Money in the Bank winner hesitates but finally goes for a Clothesline as his coach held the champion in front of him.

    But Zayn ducked and Otis accidentally got Gable.

    Gable screams at Otis on ringside, "Now's the time!"

    And his top guy takes out Reed with a Clothesline at ringside.

    Reed is amazing!
