10 Best Candidates To Be WWE King Of The Ring 2023
5. Drew McIntyre
Or, maybe it's time to crown the 'Last King Of Scotland'.
Think about it: Drew McIntyre doesn't have a spot right at the tippy top of the WWE tree due to Roman Reigns' status and the fact WWE has ploughed through that feud. So, until something changes, he will require a little distraction following this Karrion Kross business.
It'd make sense if creative leaned on his Royal Rumble/WrestleMania dreams again early next year (having Drew point out that he never got to win the WWE Title in front of fans would work), but after that? Hmm, question marks remain. King Of The Ring would be a real blessing for McIntyre.
He's a traditionalist who loves company history; winning the Rumble meant everything to the Scot, and it's easy to imagine that he'd get a lot out of replicating his hero Bret Hart by becoming 'King' too. Fans would defo pop big for that result.
