WWE announced the entire bracket for the King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring tournaments. Sami Zayn toppled Bron Breakker, Penta, and Dominik Mysterio in the first of RAW's matches for the men's division.
Next week's match on RAW will feature Rusev, Sheamus, and Bronson Reed. The fourth participant will be a mystery person. With so many stars injured or taking time off, that spot could be filled by several names.
Any one of these six WWE stars could be the mystery competitor in next week's King of the Ring qualifying match on RAW.
#6. WWE could say his name
Trending
The super popular Joe Hendry hasn't been seen much since losing the TNA World Championship to Trick Williams at NXT Battleground.
He competed at WrestleMania 41 as Randy Orton's mystery opponent after Kevin Owens missed out due to neck surgery. A way to pay Hendry back would be a featured spot in one of WWE's pre-eminent tournaments.
Hendry is still super over like Jey Uso, and both recently lost their titles. Jey getting thrust right back into a tournament for a title opportunity a week after dropping the title, however, would be overkill.
#5. Otis gets redemption in King of the Ring
One name that could be a mystery opponent in the King of the Ring tournament is Otis. He has not been on RAW over the last few weeks after losing to Rusev. Next week‘s show takes place in his hometown of Green Bay, Wisconsin.
If Otis were announced as the mystery competitor, he'd receive a hero's welcome. It would also be an interesting way to weave him into the match against Bronson Reed, Sheamus, and Rusev.
All three stars are known for their extremely physical nature. The pairing would also serve as a reboot of RAW's 'meat' division, as some of its members have been injured or released.
#4. Roman Reigns goes for another crown
While it would seem like it’s a bit beneath him due to how he was heavily pushed over the last six years, Roman Reigns could return as the mystery participant in the King of the Ring tournament.
While he’ll likely return in a fashion to thwart Seth Rollins, he could still return separate from his one-time Shield mate. The fans would love it, and it would be a huge surprise for the tournament.
The problem is that he would probably easily walk over his opponents. That still doesn’t mean The Tribal Chief couldn’t make a triumphant return on next week's RAW in the King of the Ring tournament.
#3. Logan Paul returns to RAW
He’s already had a title shot at Jey Uso and another main event match at Money in the Bank, but don’t expect Logan Paul to go away. Triple H and bookers love to hand him huge opportunities despite his minimal work to earn them.
Participating in and advancing in the King of the Ring tournament would go along with how he has been booked so far as a WWE Superstar.
The Maverick didn’t appear on the post-Money in the Bank RAW, so don't be surprised if Logan Paul pops up next week as the mystery competitor.
#2. Ricky Saints could make his RAW debut in the King of the Ring
Several stars like Gulia, Stephanie Vaquer, and Roxanne Perez have joined the main roster before and after WrestleMania 41. However, there hasn't been an addition from NXT's men's roster.
After quickly dropping the North American Title to Ethan Page, Ricky Saints has been off of NXT TV. This could be because he is getting ready to be promoted to RAW or SmackDown.
An easy way for the former North American Champion to debut would be as the mystery opponent in the King of the Ring qualifier on next week's RAW.
#1. Drew McIntyre returns to RAW
Drew McIntyre has been out of action ever since he lost his steel cage match to Damian Priest at Saturday Night's Main Event.
He hasn’t appeared on RAW or SmackDown due to needing time off to mend some nagging injuries. It doesn't seem like he tore a ligament or broke a bone. The Scottish Warrior simply needed a break to heal some troublesome ailments.
McIntyre could nonetheless shock the WWE Universe by taking the mystery spot in the King of the Ring tournament on next week's RAW.
WWE made several mistakes with Money in the Bank?
