King of the Ring (2021)
[1] In 1993, the promotion began to produce the King of the Ring tournament as a self-titled pay-per-view (PPV).Unlike the previous non-televised events, the PPV did not feature all of the tournament's matches.[3] Following the conclusion of the PPV chronology, the tournament began to be held periodically every few years, first making its return in 2006, which was held exclusively for wrestlers from the SmackDown brand—the 2008 and 2010 tournaments also featured wrestlers from WWE's other brands.[4] The tournament's return for 2021 was confirmed on the October 1 episode of SmackDown during the first night of the 2021 WWE Draft.[15] After taking time off in January due to an injury, Woods returned in March and dropped the king gimmick.
