5 WWE King of the Ring runners up that should've won

#2. Neville should never have lost to Bad News Barrett in 2015's King of the Ring Tournament

Neville Vs Bad News Barrett

In the battle of the Brits, Bad News Barrett became King of the Ring after triumphing over the smaller, high-flying babyface Neville. It was a story you've seen before in this article three times already. But Neville should have won.

Firstly, Neville should have won King of the Ring because it would have preserved Wade Barrett's Bad News Barrett character. He was starting to gain some traction with the WWE audience. I'd wager that Barrett's post-Nexus WWE career would've been much better had he not been forced to drop the Bad News Barrett to become King Barrett after winning the tournament.

Then there's the fact that Neville had just overcome Luke Harper and Sheamus to make it to the final and the crowd were firmly behind him, chanting 'Neville' throughout the match and cheering his near-falls. The place would've erupted had he won the match and perhaps Neville would've become a main event player in the company.

Instead, Neville remained firmly in the mid-card and Wade Barrett ended up leaving the company because he hated the creative direction of his character. So once again, the 2015 King of the Ring tournament achieved nothing.
