As mentioned earlier, the previous couple of winners of the coveted tournament were languishing following their victory. This bogged down the prestige of King of the Ring, but this year seems to be the revival of the concept. The winner of the entire thing should get a title match of his choosing, but WWE must follow through with them beyond that match.

That is how the company would build a new megastar. The winner must receive a sustained and consistent push in the coming months, or possibly years.

The company has been known to fail to follow through with pushes for a variety of superstars. That failure has ruined the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, making it a clear way to get everybody on WrestleMania.

Superstars like Cesaro have not been capitalized on following big victories. WWE has a proven track record of successful King of the Ring winners, with Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar winning the WWE Championship shortly after their tournament victories.

WWE must stick to their guns and sustain a push for this year's king of the ring. After all, the primary way of judging a tournament's success is how well the winner does after it.
