There is reportedly a “very good chance” that WWE brings back King of the Ring as a PLE
It was previously reported that WWE is possibly going to bring back King of the Ring as part of WWE’s 2023 PLE schedule. In an update, Twitter account @WrestleVotes noted the following to Louis Dangoor of GiveMeSport.com…
“There’s a very good chance that King of the Ring is back, and likely back in the format that had happened in the late 80s. The idea is that every single match will happen that night. In the 90s, a lot of the matches happened on Superstars and Raw, with the semi finals and finals on pay-per-view. If it’s going to come back on pay-per-view, which I would say is probably going to happen, you’re going to have a full-on one-night tournament.”
“I mean, tournament wrestling is old school wrestling, and Hunter loves old school wrestling. If it still makes sense, especially when you have 500 people on the roster, you can do it. That’s what they’re going to do.”
🚨 The feeling is that there is a "very good chance" Triple H brings back King of the Ring in 2023, @WrestleVotes tells @GiveMeSport. The expectation is that it'll be a one-night tournament, with all of the matches on PPV, as was the case in the 1980s.https://t.co/hiY6rsRCNG
