5 WWE Superstars set to get a massive push as per reports: King of the Ring winner, reason behind unexpected push

#2 Braun Strowman

From being left off the card at SummerSlam to becoming the RAW Tag Team Champion and being involved in a story with the Universal Champion Seth Rollins, Strowman has surely regained relevance on RAW.

As predicted by Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue, Paul Heyman is behind the recent push of Braun Strowman. Heyman wants to unleash the monstrous side of The Monster Among Men yet again, and we could see a much grittier of the Monster soon.

“The idea is to get Strowman back to his roots as a monster, just destroying everything in his path. He hasn’t been used as effectively as he could be.”

Heyman’s still the same guy who brought you ECW. He likes the technical style but he also likes big, destructive forces of nature. Braun is perfect for that.”

#1 Ricochet

Paul Heyman continues to be extremely high on Ricochet, as he believes that Ricochet will help bring in more teenage viewers. While Ricochet lacks good mic skills, he more than makes up for that with his exceptional in-ring athleticism.

As per Whatculture, speculation is rampant that WWE has already chosen the KOTR winner and it will most likely be either Ricochet or Baron Corbin.

While Corbin continues to be a favorite of Vince McMahon, It is highly doubtful that WWE will have him win the KOTR especially after his tepid run as the number one contender to the Universal Championship.
