Who Will Emerge as the 2024 WWE King of the Ring?
The anticipation surrounding the King of the Ring tournament is reaching a fever pitch, and with just four competitors remaining, the question on everyone’s mind is: Who will emerge victorious?
Gunther: The Frontrunner But Uncertain
Initially, Gunther seemed like a shoo-in for the crown. However, with Cody Rhodes’s move to SmackDown and Damian Priest’s World Heavyweight Championship reign, Gunther’s prospects have become uncertain. Still, he remains a formidable contender.
Jey Uso: In Need of Singles Glory
“Main Event” Jey Uso has yet to achieve true singles success despite his breakout performance last summer. A King of the Ring victory would establish him as a legitimate headliner and solidify his place among WWE’s elite.
Randy Orton: A Match Made for Destiny
As a 14-time world champion, Randy Orton might not need a King of the Ring win. However, it would set the stage for a highly anticipated match against Cody Rhodes, reigniting their former mentor-protégé rivalry.
Tama Tonga: An Unlikely Candidate
Tama Tonga’s role as Solo Sikoa’s henchman makes his victory seem implausible. The only way he could triumph is through an unexpected double-cross, but this scenario appears highly unlikely.
Pick to Win: Randy Orton
Based on the current circumstances, Randy Orton emerges as the most likely candidate to win the 2024 King of the Ring tournament. His storyline with Cody Rhodes is ripe for a showdown, and a victory would add another layer to his illustrious career.
