10 Best Candidates To Be WWE King Of The Ring 2023

Poor Austin Theory is doomed to grace lists about WWE's biggest busts or Money In The Bank failures forevermore. The way Hunter has booked him since taking over from Vince is nothing short of rubbish, to be honest, and that sh*t show peaked when he cashed-in on the United States belt then lost.

Let the rescue mission commence.

Wrestlers have come back from embarrassing setbacks before. Christ, Roman Reigns recovered from cringe promo lines like "sufferin' succotash" and being the most hated "top babyface" around. If he can come back from that, then Theory can get through this sticky patch and come out smiling.

Yes, winning King Of The Ring would help with that recovery process. However, WWE should know that Austin isn't the kind of worker who needs a cartoony run like 'King' Sheamus or 'King' Barrett. He'll need to be a serious 'King' if he has a fighting chance of returning to form.
