The King of the Ring tournament is returning to WWE television. The tournament will be taking place on upcoming episodes of RAW and Smackdown, with the finals taking place at Clash of Champions. Here are some of my WWE King of the Ring 2019 predictions.
7) Daniel Bryan And Rowan Will Cost Buddy Murphy His Tournament Match
One of the central storylines on Smackdown right now involves Daniel Bryan, Rowan, and Roman Reigns. Buddy Murphy has also been caught up in this storyline over the past few weeks.
In my Clash of Champions predictions, I have Roman and Buddy teaming together against Bryan and Rowan. To set that into motion, I could see Bryan and Rowan costing Murphy his match in the King of the Ring tournament. While Murphy is getting attacked after the match, Roman Reigns could come out and save the day.
While I would love to see Murphy go deep in this tournament, I don’t think he needs to. His match against Roman really elevated him. The best thing for Murphy is for him to stick around in this main storyline on Smackdown.
6) Chad Gable Will Be This Year’s Underdog Story
An interesting name in this tournament is Chad Gable. He hasn’t been used on RAW or Smackdown but has put on some incredible matches on 205 Live over the past month.
I think that Gable is going to be this year’s underdog of the tournament. That means he will pick up some surprising wins and will go fairly deep in the tournament.
I think that fans would love to get behind Gable. The guy is super talented and has been underutilized by WWE so far. Maybe this is one of his breakout moments?
I think that Gable will have a great showing and will be this year’s underdog story.
