Winner: Baron Corbin
After the match, Corbin walks up to the throne and sits down on it, and puts the crown on his head. He says he was asked about a poll, in which the fans wanted anybody but him to win King of the Ring. The good news is, he never cared what any of us think. And that’s because on our best day, we couldn’t accomplish anything he has. He’s where he is because of one person, himself. And after he’s coronated, he will tell us all to hail King Corbin.
