After years of not being used, WWE has decided to bring back the King of the Ring tournament. This is a four-round, 16-person event taking place over multiple evenings. The first round of the event will take place on the August 19 episode of Raw, with Round 2 happening on August 20’s Smackdown Live.
This is a tournament that has created plenty of major moments for WWE superstars, including when “Stone Cold” Steve Austin won the 1996 King of the Ring and gave his famous “Austin 3:16” speech after beating Jake “The Snake” Roberts. While not all King of the Ring winners went on to amazing careers in WWE–looking at you, King Mabel–it does elevate the superstar and puts them on everyone’s radar.
There hasn’t been a King of the Ring tournament since 2015, so fans are pretty excited to see its return. Speaking of fans, GameSpot’s Wrestle Buddies, Mat Elfring and Chris E. Hayner have their brackets filled out for this year’s event, and here are who they think will win and lose this year.
