Dating back to 1985, the King of the Ring tournament has cemented itself as a legendary battleground within WWE. This single-elimination tournament pits Raw and SmackDown wrestlers against each other. The coveted title of "King" awaits the sole victor, a distinction that has launched the careers of iconic Superstars like "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in 1996. Over the years many greats have won the King of the Ring tournament and used it as a launchpad to make huge names in the world of professional wrestling.
