<p>The first four matches on this year’s <strong>King of the Ring</strong> tournament have been officially announced by WWE.</p>



<p>WWE announced <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/news/wwe-king-of-the-ring-2019-bracket-revealed-kevin-owens-drew-mcintyre-favorites/" target="_blank">the 16 competitors</a> in this year’s King of the Ring earlier. This week’s episode of both RAW and SmackDown will officially kick off the tournament with two King of the Ring match-ups on each show.</p>



<p>It has been announced that new RAW superstar and former WWE 205 stalwart and champion <strong>Cedric Alexander</strong> will be competing against the man who is now calling himself “The Critic of the Critics” <strong>Sami Zayn</strong>.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, two men both known for their strong fighting style, <strong>Samoa Joe</strong> and <strong>Cesaro </strong>will also clash on RAW this Monday. Whether the Samoan Submission Machine or the Swiss Cyborg advances in the match, we all win as this is sure to be a great match.</p>

<p>Recently on SmackDown, <strong>Kevin Owens</strong> has been clashing with <strong>Shane McMahon</strong>. For McMahon’s part, he’s been deploying a number of allies to ensure that he frustrates Owens&#8217; attempts to get past him. One of these allies is the current WWE 24/7 Champion <strong>Elias</strong>. Now the two men are set to clash again, this time at the King of the Ring tournament.</p>

<p>Elias won the 24/7 Championship on the last episode of SmackDown and he’s sure to want to include a new accolade by advancing in the King of the Ring tournament. Meanwhile, Owens who earned a $100,000 fine from McMahon on that same episode is sure to be looking forward to some payback against Elias and McMahon.</p>



<p>The last announced match for the King of the Ring Tournament this week will be <strong>Apollo Crews</strong> vs <strong>Andrade </strong>on SmackDown. This is just the newest chapter on a slow shimmering rivalry the two have had since they both moved to the Blue brand during the Superstar Shakeup.</p>
