Surprise Teams forgettable king tournament

King of the ring feels like a warm up act. For me if it's in the title should be the main event. Like a royal rumble having a championship match after . Some good action and moments. Works badly as a stand alone event really need to be watching, The weeks leading up to this. No real set up of what to expect on the card at the beginning. I know matches needed to change leading into this but felt very thrown together. A few matches and pairing you might not have seen or remember make this one worth a watch.
