#2 What winners of King of the Ring could get

Kurt Angle won the King of the Ring tournament in 2000

The 2019 edition of the King of the Ring tournament began last week on WWE RAW, and we will see the second round of the tournament this week on RAW and SmackDown Live. Samoa Joe and Cedric Alexander have progressed from RAW to the second round of the tournament, while Elias and Andrade have progressed from the blue brand.

The King of the Ring, historically, has been a great way to build up an upcoming and potential World Champion, with the likes of Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, and Kurt Angle winning the tournament and becoming legends.

Kurt Angle, in a Facebook Q&A session, spoke about what the King of the Ring winners would get after winning the 2019 edition: (H/T NODQ)

"The winner of the King of the Ring will most likely be in the hunt for the World Title. I’m not going to mention who needs to win it because every single athlete in the tournament will need to win it. If you look at previous winners, most of them conquered the WWE after they won the King of the Ring,” said Angle.
