— WWE (@WWE) April 27, 2015 Sheamus is actually the most recent King of the Ring, having won the last tournament back in 2010. This is a good opportunity to shine a light on some of the terrific midcard talent the company has right now. King Ambrose or King Stardust in particular could potentially be a lot of fun.
RAW begins at 8 p.m. ET on Monday night on the USA Network. The live King of the Ring special will air Tuesday night on WWE Network, also beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
