Chad Gable could be the dark horse of this year's King of the Ring
#4 WWE loves an underdog

Gable has been a huge underdog throughout the competition
Gable was easily the biggest underdog heading into the tournament and somehow he has managed to already make it to the semi-finals. Baron Corbin has already been at the to of his game as the Constable of Monday Night Raw and over the past few months since he lost his position at the top of the ladder.

WWE has taken the gamble on Corbin a number of times, so it makes sense for Gable to finally be given the chance to shine since King of the Ring is a tournament that usually makes a person's career.
Corbin is already considered to be one of the top names on Raw, whilst Elias is only at the top of his game because of Shane McMahon, since he cheated to get through the first round of the tournament.

Gable is the only star who really needs a boost like a King of the Ring win, and since he's the biggest underdog in the competition, WWE is aware that a win for the former Tag Team Champion would definitely pop the WWE Universe at the same time.
