Sami Zayn has already qualified for the next round of the WWE King of the Ring tournament

WWE has unveiled the full bracket for the King of the Ring and Queen of the Ring competitions. Sami Zayn defeated Bron Breakker, Penta, and Dominik Mysterio in RAW’s debut match for the men’s division.

Next week’s RAW match will include Rusev, Sheamus, and Bronson Reed. The fourth participant will be a mysterious identity. With so many stars injured or taking time off, that position might be filled by various people.

Any of these three WWE stars might be the mystery opponent in next week’s King of the Ring qualifying contest on RAW.

3. Joe Hendry

Since losing the TNA World Championship to Trick Williams at NXT Battleground, the extremely popular Joe Hendry hasn’t been seen very much.

Following Kevin Owens’ absence due to neck surgery, he wrestled as Randy Orton’s mystery opponent at WrestleMania 41. A starring role in one of WWE’s most prestigious events would be one way to repay Hendry.

Hendry, like Jey Uso, is still extremely popular, despite having just lost their titles. Jey being put back into a tournament for a championship shot a week after losing the title would be excessive.

2. Ricky Saints

Several stars, including Gulia, Stephanie Vaquer, and Roxanne Perez, joined the main roster before and after WrestleMania 41. However, there has been no addition to NXT’s men’s roster.

Ricky Saints has been absent from NXT TV since he promptly lost the North American Title to Ethan Page. This might indicate that he is about to be promoted to RAW or SmackDown.

The former North American Champion may easily make his debut as the mystery opponent in the King of the Ring qualifiers set for RAW next week.

1. Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre has been out of action after losing his steel cage battle to Damian Priest on Saturday Night’s Main Event.

He hasn’t been on RAW or SmackDown because he needs to rest and recover from some lingering ailments. It doesn’t appear like he tore a ligament or shattered a bone. The Scottish Warrior merely needed a vacation to recover from some serious diseases.

McIntyre may yet surprise the WWE Universe by claiming the mystery berth in the King of the Ring competition on next week’s Raw.
