#2 The King of the Ring Tournament allocates more TV Time to WWE's mid-card superstars

While tournaments of such nature can get repetitive throughout its proceedings, there are several advantages of hosting a King of the Ring Tournament at this time of the year.

First of all, many fans tune in to see more action instead of plain talk, and with tournaments like these, WWE can market matches without storylines as part of a gruelling competition that will declare a definite winner.

But more importantly, WWE's mid-card tier (or lower mid-card tier) consists of talented superstars who aren't involved in established feuds right now.

So by integrating them as part of a collective tournament gives these superstars more valuable screen time that doesn't feel like filler content.

Thanks to King of the Ring 2019, matches over which an average viewer would change the channel have increased stakes added to them.

Who do you think will end up winning the whole tournament?
