King Of The Ring 2019: Predictions

Full disclosure, I had three possible scenarios

play out in my head while I was putting together my prediction bracket.

Scenario 1: Kevin Owens goes through to the finals without any interference from Shane McMahon, meets Baron Corbin in the finals, and beats him to become King of the Ring.

Scenario 2: Shane McMahon does cause Owens to lose in the early rounds of the tournament, likely in his first round match against Elias. In which case, Ricochet goes to the finals against Andrade and defeats him to become King Ricochet! Personally, as much as I would like to see Owens win, this scenario is the most entertaining to me. How great would an Andrade/Ricochet match be?

However, based on WWE's booking history, I chose...

Scenario 3: Kevin Owens makes it to the finals against Baron Corbin, only then to be screwed out of a win, thus allowing Baron Corbin to add to his many accolades "2019 King Of The Ring."

As you can see, I have a very strong feeling that the McMahon/Owens feud is not over. This outcome would continue that feud and add to the heel resume of Corbin. Corbin has been off TV for several weeks, so for him to come back and win the King Of The Rind Tournament would make the crowd hate him that much more. Will he get the right kind of heat, though? That's a discussion for a different time.

Final Prediction: Baron Corbin- 2019 King Of The Ring Winner
