WWE King of the Ring 2019: Analysis and Predictions

First Round Bracket #4: The Miz vs. Baron Corbin

The Miz lands a stiff kick to Baron Corbin

It's reality television vs. the NFL in RAW's fourth and final first-round King of the Ring match up. Baron Corbin and The Miz are no strangers to each other, as both have been entangled in the saga of Shane McMahon and Roman Reigns.

Corbin is the former NXT star who has struggled somewhat on the main roster. While the WWE seems intent on pushing Corbin as one of their top heels--even allowing him to 'retire' Kurt Angle at WrestleMania--he can't seem to maintain any momentum, as his recent title opportunities against Seth Rollins prove.

The Miz defied all odds by becoming one of the most tenured, and decorated, WWE superstars of all time.

By working constantly to improve his physique, his promos, and his in-ring skills, The Miz has emerged as one of the most valuable assets WWE has under contract.

Who will win in this contest of hungry mid-card talents?

Predicted Winner: Baron Corbin

For whatever reason, WWE believes Corbin is a major player in sports entertainment. A win in the KOTR tournament would mean more to his career than The Miz's. Look for Corbin to pick up a tainted win here.
