5 ways WWE can make the King of the Ring special again

#1 Give the winner a title shot

Bring crowned the King of the Ring is an accomplishment in its own right, but once the tournament is over, there is no guarantee that the winner will receive a major push. Just look at Sheamus and Barrett to see how winning the KOTR can backfire.

There needs to be more than a crown and sceptre on the line to make people care about what happens to the winner after the tournament has ended. Giving them a title shot would fix this problem.

Even if the winner only received a chance to fight for the Intercontinental or United States Championship, it would still be better than nothing. In fact, making the prize a shot at one of those titles might help make it look more prestigious.

WWE could hold the event right before SummerSlam so the winner goes on to headline the second-biggest PPV of the year. It would be to SummerSlam what The Royal Rumble is to WrestleMania.
