Jey Uso and Asuka are moving on in the WWE King and Queen of the Ring tournaments.

On this week's episode of Raw , Asuka made her return to WWE after over a year away and defeated Stephanie Vaquer, Ivy Nile, and Raquel Rodriguez to advance in the Queen of the Ring. Asuka had been away from the company healing from a serious knee injury.

During the match, Rhea Ripley got involved and took out Rodriguez with a Riptide on the outside of the ring. Because of that, Asuka was able to get the win on Rodriguez.

In the men's King of the Ring tournament, Jey Uso beat Rusev, Sheamus, and Bronson Reed to advance. Jey Uso now will square off against Cody Rhodes next week on Raw in the tournament semifinals.

This week, Rhodes made a surprise appearance on Raw and saved Jey from a certain attack by Seth Rollins. Rhodes ran to the ring, which prevented Rollins from laying a hand on Jey.
