In just a few weeks, the WWE will crown a new monarch to their roster, as the 2019 'King of the Ring' will be decided at Clash of Champions.
A staple of the WWE, the King of the Ring tournament has been won by some of the biggest stars ever, including 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, Bret Hart, Triple H and Kurt Angle.
With the King of the Ring tournament coming back for the first time since 2015, this has led to a lot of speculation on what else the company could bring back from the past.
In the annals of WWE history, there is no shortage of classic matches that could be brought back and would definitely have fans tuning in.

Here are five Stipulation matches WWE should bring back after King of the Ring:
#5: The Parking Lot Brawl
The WWE Universe may see Superstars battle each and every week on shows like RAW, SmackDown Live, 205 Live and NXT, but some fans may argue that everything seems too clean.
After all, the WWE are the leading force in Sports Entertainment, so it's only natural that the show looks incredible, especially in High Definition (HD).
Enter, the Parking Lot Brawl, a contest between Superstars backstage, which seems more real than any other.
Taking place (surprise, surprise) in a parking lot, this match would see two Superstars plow into each other, in the hopes of coming out on top.
It's clear in 2019 that fans would like to see a unique perspective on brawls, as the recent brawl between Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman on the July 1st RAW was praised by fans.
Though we sometimes may catch a glimpse of Superstars fighting backstage, these brawls would mean a lot more if they were sanctioned by WWE, and this match type could lead to a plethora of entertaining moments.
#4: The 60-Minute Iron Man Match
It is easy to see why WWE doesn't want to bring back the Iron Man matches, as they are incredibly time-consuming, and, with the currently loaded roster, they would take up a lot of time on a show to showcase just two participants.
Another crucial issue would be the fans themselves, as the WWE Universe can be fickle, and turn quickly on a match, as evident with last year's 30-minute bout between Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins at Extreme Rules 2018.
However, the flipside to that argument is that, if a storyline is worthy of it and the wrestlers involved are talented enough, an Iron Man match can be absolutely incredible and easily more impactful than two or three throwaway matches.
There have been some classic Iron Man matches in the past, and, even if WWE wants to dedicate just 30 minutes rather than a whole hour, they can still be good.
Finding the right participants would be difficult, but given the conditioning of some of the top Superstars in WWE today, it wouldn't be an impossible task.
#3: The Buried Alive Match
In the annals of WWE history, there's never been quite a stipulation as the Buried Alive match. As the name suggests, the only way to win is to bury your opponent in a grave, located inside the arena.
The match first debuted at the eleventh In Your House event in October 1996, and though The Undertaker has appeared in all five Buried Alive matches, the last such bout took place nearly a decade ago, when the Deadman fell to his brother Kane at Bragging Rights 2010.
WWE hasn't had a Buried Alive match in such a long time because it hasn't really suited anybody on the roster now that Kane and The Undertaker are gone, which is fair enough and makes sense.
However, WWE now has a character that would make sense to bring this stipulation back: 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt. Hopefully, the company can do this, making the most of Wyatt's crazy gimmick.
It would only help to enhance the character if WWE decided to give him a stipulation match like this, making The Fiend become even more feared than it currently is.
#2: The Championship Scramble Match
This match concept isn't a particularly old one, but it didn't have a long life due to people finding it overly complicated.
The Championship Scramble would start with two wrestlers and have another join every five minutes. There could be as many pinfalls or submissions throughout, and whoever had the last at the end of the time limit would walk out as champion.
This meant that there could be several different champions within one match, with everyone scrambling to stop pinfalls and get their own. Matches could quickly turn wild, as bouts would evolve from a singles contest to a triple threat, to a fatal four-way and so on.
The stipulation certainly started strong, taking place three times on the same night at Unforgiven 2008, though the fourth and final match would happen at The Bash in 2009.
It's been over a decade since the Scramble match was last used, and with the recent success of the 24/7 Championship this year, it's clear that there is still a desire for short, exciting title reigns, which a Scramble could provide.
#1: Cyber Sunday
This isn't just one match type, but a whole Pay Per View, as the WWE should strongly consider bringing back Cyber Sunday.
Originally titled Taboo Tuesday, the show received it's more PG name in 2006, and revolved around a simple concept, giving the WWE Universe the power to control the show.
This power would come in the form of fan polls, as stipulations, opponents and other parts of the show were decided by the fans, giving an aura of mystery to the event.
Though some matches were better than others, fans could always prepare to expect the unexpected at the show, which was a huge part of the fun.
In an era with several shows having stipulations built into them (Hell in a Cell, TLC, Money in the Bank etc), having Cyber Sunday could be a huge night of excitement for both the WWE and its fans.
With WWE citing themselves as a social media powerhouse in 2019, bringing back Cyber Sunday could be a great idea for the company, and help to prove they are still willing to listen to the fans.
