#2 Baron Corbin is the most hated heel in the tournament

The 2019 WWE King of the Ring tournament has boasted some of the company's most hated heels, including Cesaro, Drew McIntyre, Samoa Joe, Sami Zayn and more.

Probably the most hated heel in the tournament, however, is Baron Corbin, who the WWE fans have been booing with vigor ever since he became the more corporate-oriented heel that we currently see on television.

Corbin is undoubtedly someone the fans will despise as the 2019 King of the Ring, so he will make the perfect foil for Chad Gable, who fans will no doubt be very behind this Sunday at WWE Clash of Champions.

It's not yet confirmed that Gable will be the one to face Corbin this Sunday night in the finals, but with WWE pushing numerous mid-card talents on TV in recent months, it seems likely that the hated Corbin will face Gable in a highly-anticipated tournament finals match.
