So according to this, the King/Queen of the Ring tournaments are set to return in May. I have no idea their source or if it’s true, however, if they do return who would you like to see win?
I personally would like for Balor, Theory, or Rollins to win King. For Queen, I think Liv would make sense.

Escobar,a returning Riddle,Gargano or Gable would be great and would never say no to Balor winning. Imagine Dom being King,that's a real ruler.
Io separating from Damage Control would be my first pick or Liv and Candice would work too.

KOTR doesn't feel like it leads to anything for the winner anymore but maybe that changes with HHH.

I wouldn’t want him to, but you know how they do things. they should let the winner get a title opportunity

I don’t really care who wins, I just want it to be a one night 8 man legit tournament, like they used to do.

Asking these guys/gals to work three matches in one night might be an overkill. I’d rather see 3 (6 with the women) quality matches.

Im fine if it meant the winner wasn't relegated to a crappy king/queen gimmick that didnt fit their character at all.
Let it be a tournament to prove dominance and end with a title shot. Once Rhodes is champ a lot more opportunities open up for guys that otherwise you'd say "nah they're not going to waste a 3 year title reign ending on THAT guy".
Theory or Gunther would be my pick. Dominik would be great just to piss people off.

King of the Ring is lame now. Back in the day it was cool and it felt important. Now, whoever wins they give some ridiculous royal gimmick and they talk in a fake British accent and it’s just embarrassing.

If winning includes a title shot at Summerslam and no crappy gimmick change that hasn't worked for anyone other than King Booker in the last 20 years, then yeah sure, sign me up.
Balor would be my pick, if it meant said title shot at Summerslam.
If Bayley drops Damage Control by that point, then she's my pick. If not, wouldn't be against Chelsea Green just for someone different in the main event.

The Title shot at SummerSlam & Bayley winning sounds sweet.

How to make this relevant..
1) Tournaments are held during 1 night (none of this 6 weeks BS)
2) Winners are given title shots at SummerSlam
3) NOBODY is called "King/Queen" or forced to use a stupid gimmick. Just referred to as "King of the Ring winner" as you would the Royal Rumble.
4) Should be used to elevate someone to "top tier"
5) Anyone but Liv Morgan

The outside like 5 winners the original King Of The Ring PPV tournaments kind of sucked and meant nothing. Bret was a good winner but really it was a consolation prize and really to just start a feud with Lawler. It only elevated Owen, Austin, Angle and Brock. It gave us Mabel as a main event heel. Triple H, Shamrock, Gunn and Edge did nothing with it. Outside the PPVs, I think it could be could to use like the Rumble but with a title shot at Summerslam. If not, it’s just a nostalgia show.
