5 PPVs WWE should bring back

#3 King of the Ring

The first King of the Ring was held in 1985

It was announced earlier this year that a King of the Ring tournament will take place in June 2018 to determine a new #1 contender for the United Kingdom Championship.

While the upcoming tournament is certainly a step in the right direction, it's still a little disappointing that there hasn’t been a main-roster King of the Ring pay-per-view since way back in 2002 when Brock Lesnar was crowned ‘King’ after defeating Rob Van Dam.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

The most recent KOTR revamp in 2015 was a one-hour special simply designed to encourage fans to watch the WWE Network, but a return of the tournament in its original format, with semi-finals and the final itself taking place on the PPV, would be a refreshing change in 2019.

Everyone would prefer an annual KOTR over Backlash or Battleground, right?
