After a recent promo, Xavier Woods and Zelina Vega hinted that they were seemingly snubbed by WWE. Also, there is a call for more AEW titles.
WWE Snubs Xavier Woods And Zelina Vega
WWE is heading back to Saudi Arabia in a little over two months. This time, the show will be called King And Queen Of The Ring.
The name should be an obvious giveaway to what WWE has planned. On that night, they will crown a new King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring.
During RAW, a video aired to hype the show. To highlight the theme, WWE showcased several of the past superstars to hold the crown.
In an interesting tidbit, they did not feature Xaiver Woods or Zelina Vega. Of those unfamiliar, both won their respective crowns at the event in 2021 titled, Crown Jewel.
Since then, neither has really gone far. Typically, the opposite occurs as winning the crown shows WWE sees the person as a future main event superstar and champion.
Woods has really struggled, mostly teaming with Kofi Kingston while Big E recovers from his broken neck. Vega did briefly hold tag team gold, but seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle.

King And Queen Of The Ring comes to the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia on May 27. The shows airs on the WWE Network, with a likely early start time for fans in the United States.
Of course, fans and wrestlers are always skeptical of WWE shows from Saudi Arabia. The way the country treats women and others has been heavily criticized by many parts of the world.
More AEW Titles?
In the beginning, AEW looked like a real threat to WWE. Then, especially after last year, fans were noticing obvious problems with the promotion.
A big complaint is how the roster is simply too large. Plus, they have so many titles that some are not even defended on pay per view.
Well, if it was up to Saraya, she would add more gold to the company. In particular, she responded to an AEW tweet supporting the idea of tag team gold for the women’s division.
Perfect way to celebrate would be to bring in Women’s tag titles https://t.co/rQNtV9tFgx

But that would open the door for more matches.. We are fortunate enough to have a lot of great women’s wrestlers on our roster that could be used in a tag division. https://t.co/xeZdNIMSAs

Currently, AEW has two titles for the women. There is the AEW Women’s Championship and the TBS Championship.
WWE has numerous titles for their women’s division between RAW, SmackDown and NXT. The singles titles get a decent amount of attention, but the tag belts on the main roster and NXT seem like an afterthought.
As for Saraya, she is regularly featured since joining AEW. After a short stint as a face, she turned heel.
Then, Toni Storm and Ruby Soho joined her. Together, the stable are targeting talent that became stars in AEW.
Basically, it is AEW against WWE in the storyline.
