#2 Compelling television
At times Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live have been a chore to watch. The creative team recycle similar stories and ideas from time to time, while not providing a spotlight to some of the more talented stars on the roster.
SmackDown has considerably improved since the Superstar Shake-up but Raw still feels like the same old show. It could all change with the return of King Of The Ring.

The announcement itself would make for extremely compelling television, but the tournament would improve the weekly quality by a considerable amount. High-quality wrestling matches with stakes and drive behind it are always welcome on Raw and SmackDown. It would also keep the WWE calendar fresh and devoid from any lulls.
There would be a buzz after SummerSlam, something which has not exactly happened in a very long time. Announcing tournament matches throughout the month would help to boost ratings in this time where quality is compromised a lot.
September would be the perfect month for this as it comes between SummerSlam and the start of the build to Survivor Series. It can keep the product fresh and enjoyable while giving the wrestlers something to do and fight for.
King Of The Ring could be a big win for everybody involved, but only if it is played right. If it does return, WWE must not rush the tournament. They should play it out for over a month on television and pay it off on pay-per-view.
