WWE's protective measures impact credibility ahead of King of the Ring

WWE faces scrutiny for its trend of protecting upper-card wrestlers from clean losses. Ahead of the King of the Ring final between Jey Uso and Oba Femi, there's speculation that interference could play a role, undermining the legitimacy of outcomes. Critics argue that this trend, labeled as 'asterisk results,' diminishes the overall storytelling and creates confusion among fans regarding character development. The ongoing practice of avoiding clean finishes may affect match quality and viewer engagement. The King of the Ring event is set to take place tomorrow in Saudi Arabia, marking a key moment for WWE.
