10 Best Candidates To Be WWE King Of The Ring 2023
1. Dominik Mysterio
Yes, Dominik Mysterio is number one on this list.
Why? Well, it'd tick a lot of folks off for one. Second, he'd be cast as the crown jewel of the Judgment Day ranks and bring more to the party than just calling Rhea Ripley "Mami". Third, the word "Rey" literally translates from Spanish to English as "King". No prizes for guessing where this is going.
Dom would be able to look his father in the eye and boast about being the "true King of the Mysterio family". Those guys have to work a major one-on-one match on pay-per-view at some stage, and this would be the perfect setup for it. Hey, maybe WWE could even stick the rights to the 'King' moniker high above the ring and book a ladder match.
That'd be riffing on their SummerSlam 2005 history and would guarantee a kickass showcase for their Father vs. Son feud too. Some will despise this idea and pelt Dominik with verbal rocks - that's precisely why it should happen.
