Champsgiving Tournament 2021: Best WWE King of the Ring (So Far) Qualifying Round | Smark Out Moment

Welcome to the fourth annual Smark Out Moment 2021 CHAMPSGIVING tournament!

This year, I won't be available to tackle this tournament in the more suitable time frame around Thanksgiving as I'll be away taking time off for my wedding and honeymoon, so I wanted to get something out here earlier in the fall prior to that. When thinking of potential topics, the current buzz is around the upcoming Crown Jewel pay-per-view and the rumors that the King of the Ring (and possibly a Queen of the Ring or Queen's Crown Tournament) will return as a hook for the Saudi Arabia show.

With that in mind, for this edition, we're going to be looking at the 23 Superstars who have previously won the King of the Ring tournament or defeated a former King of the Ring to inherit their crown and call themselves the new king. This list currently spans from Don Muraco to Shinsuke Nakamura.

To start things off, we're in the qualifying round. As there are 23 wrestlers, that would be an uneven tournament, meaning we need to whittle down the list to a top 16 to have an even bracket. On top of that, the qualifying round will not just determine the 7 Superstars who are eliminated and won't participate in the tournament, but it will also help in the seeding of the bracket itself based on who gets the most and least amount of votes.

Cast your votes below on which 7 Superstars you want to be eliminated from the qualifying around and help determine who not only enters the bracket, but how they are placed on it heading into Round 1!
