I had pointed out last week that Corbin's presence in this year's King of the Ring tournament was crucial to keep the stakes raised throughout this tournament's entirety.

Baron Corbin is the ultimate heat magnet in today's main roster.

So the fact that he will represent RAW during the final round of King of the Ring 2019 tells us that Chad Gable is most likely to win the entire tournament in the end.

Putting an underdog against the superstar that people love to hate ensures that the underdog will garner all the support he/she can.

Another interesting booking decision here is that WWE has easily eliminated all the favourites heading into the last phase of the tournament.

This has also re-introduced WWE's unpredictability factor for the time being.

There is also a chance that Corbin might pick up the win in the end, but either way, Elias vs. Corbin sounds far less appealing than Gable vs. Corbin.
