Let’s look at the Predictions to win the King of The Ring Tournament


Oba Femi

The first name in this list is Oba Femi. Oba has become the fastest rising star In WWE. He has a very big match against Brock Lesnar at WWE Clash in Italy. The King of The Ring Tournament is the perfect opportunity for him to show the WWE fans that he is more than a powerful wrestler but he can also have long matches and have bangers. He would have to have a number of matches against superior wrestlers and that will be a big test. He can main event SummerSlam and it would not look awkward. Brock Lesnar won his first WWE Championship the same way in 2002.


Je’Von Evans

The other WWE superstar who is ready to go to the main event scene is Je’Von Evans. He has been in the WWE for 6 months and he has proven that he is an excellent overall professional wrestler. He is not just someone who does spot after spot and gets cheap pop. He has understood storytelling and he would excel in this tournament. He would get to wrestle people like Gunther who would challenge him. He can also have multiple matches in one night.


CM Punk

The former World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk would be eager to get to the top of WWE once again. And to do that he would need to win this tournament. The King of The Ring Tournament would provide him the perfect opportunity to make his return to WWE and get in ring action. He would be facing wrestlers who are much younger to him like Je’Von and Oba Femi. SummerSlam is a show that CM Punk does very well at. King of The Ring could use all the star power it can get. The Final of this tournament will take place at WWE Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.


Drew Mcintyre

Drew Mcintyre has been out of WWE and has been resting and waiting for his opportunity to wrestle again. The King of The Ring Tournament would provide Drew Mcintyre to take out all his anger at the other wrestlers. He would return in better shape and he would be on SmackDown. Drew Mcintyre facing the WWE Champion at SummerSlam is a very interesting proposition. There are a few WWE superstars who could win this tournament.
