WWE applied for the trademark “King of the Ring” on July 28th, according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
With WWE running brand-exclusive pay-per-views starting next month, it’s very possible we’ll see King of the Ring return in the near future.
The single-elimination tournament was held annually from 1985-1989 and 1993-2002. It returned in 2006 as a SmackDown-exclusive show and featured Superstars from both RAW and SmackDown in 2008, 2010 and 2015. Recent winners include Bad News Barrett, Sheamus, William Regal and Booker T.
KOTR helped launch the careers of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Triple H and Brock Lesnar and could be used as vehicle to push a rising star to the next level.
