#1 Kevin Owens
If Drew McIntyre is the favourite candidate to win the tournament from RAW, Kevin Owens is certainly the best pick from SmackDown Live. As a matter of fact, Owens will be one of the favourites among the sixteen participants. The Prize Fighter already has a noteworthy career and he could add another feather in his illustrious career by winning the King of the Ring crown.

Since turning a babyface, Owens has been on a roll and he is gradually establishing himself as a top star of the Blue Brand. The former Universal Champion put his career on the line at SummerSlam where he defeated Shane McMahon.
Owens is certainly one of the most charismatic guys of the current roster. After making his main roster debut, Owens won multiple titles including the Universal Championship. While he held the most coveted prize of the Red Brand, he never managed to grab the WWE Championship. If Owens wins the King of the Ring tournament, he could build significant momentum which could allow him to chase the WWE Title.
