#1 Worst Choice - Baron Corbin

The picture above is proof alone that Corbin shouldn't be winning the 2019 King of the Ring. Despite my thoughts, he is still someone that is pushed like a big threat. Management likes him despite the crowd disliking him and the audience doesn't dislike him because he's a great heel.

Corbin received three shots at the Universal Championship prior to SummerSlam. He thankfully failed in all of those bids, but part of the reason why those events might have fell short was the constant rematches that both he and Lacey Evans received.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

The Lone Wolf has also already won an Andre the Giant Battle Royal and the Money in the Bank contract. His failure to cash in was one of the misfires that led WWE to the notion that they had to nail this year's winner. His winning would likely be met with groans from a good portion of the WWE Universe.

He'd likely add that accolade to his ongoing introduction and just become even more annoying. If creating a new star out of this tournament is the goal, then having Corbin win it would not produce the desired result.

The winner needs to be someone who's exciting in the ring and someone who hasn't had many or any pushes. Corbin does not fit those criteria. It might not matter because the WWE can and will do whatever it wants, but a win by the Lone Wolf won't really help going forward.
