The second bracket of Raw's King of the Ring 2019 offering features an intriguing match up of speed vs. power.

Drew McIntyre was the 'chosen one,' the man with whom Vince McMahon stood in the ring on his debut. Mr.McMahon asserted that McIntyre would be a world champion one day, but then the Scotsman was let go by the company.

Instead of being bitter or giving up on his dream, McIntyre worked on his ring skills in the indie leagues until he worked his way back to the WWE. He has held the NXT Championship, but is hungry for gold since joining the main roster.

Ricochet is the most breathtaking Superstar on WWE's current roster. He possesses speed, agility, striking ability, and more technical acumen than most give him credit for.

Who will win in this contest of former NXT stars?

Predicted Winner: Drew McIntyre. While Ricochet is climbing the ladder in WWE, the same could be said for McIntyre.

Both men are looking for that next step to the main event picture, but we see McIntyre going over on this one for a simple reason: Ricochet's feud with The OC. McIntyre will likely pick up the win thanks to interference by AJ Styles and/or his OC cohorts.
