10 Best Candidates To Be WWE King Of The Ring 2023

Picturing a smiling Sami Zayn hugging Roman Reigns and getting right on Jey Uso's nipple ends because he's brought some success to The Bloodline is fun. Alternatively, perhaps the "Honorary Uce" will have been booted from the faction and turned into an underdog face sensation by the time KOTR happens.

Either way, he's a strong candidate to win it.

Zayn is the best utility player in pro wrestling at the moment. He can do comedy, he can work great matches, he gets how to tell a story and he's cherished by the fanbase. Stick "Sami Zayn" down on a sheet of paper, list some attributes for success and you'll get a 'tick, tick, tick' next to almost all of them.

He'd be a riot as 'King'. Sami is another (like Matt Riddle) who could make the goofier side of the gimmick work to his advantage. Man, just seeing him demand that Jey holds his crown for a second whilst he takes care of business writes itself.
