3 Superstars who should be named US champion

Ricochet

Could Ricochet win the title next?

While Ricochet is definitely not the most obvious choice, he is certainly a superstar who could use the push a title run can provide. Ricochet is immensely talented and has been touted by many, including The Rock, as a future WWE champion. Ricochet put together a number of impressive performances during his time in NXT but so far has just been presented as a happy, floppy guy on the main roster and because of this hasn't totally won over main roster only fans. A title run here could propel him up the ranks, allow his character to develop and set up some fun new matchups.

For this to work Ricochet should win either a rumble or multi-man match, stealing the win away from Samoa Joe in the final moments. Joe can then seek vengeance on the smaller, quicker man and these two a definitely capable of putting on a fun program between the two of them.
