#4 Ricochet possibly winning King of the Ring?

This week's episode of WWE Raw featured the continuation of the King of the Ring tournament, with Ricochet facing Samoa Joe in singles competition.

The bout ended in "controversy" when both Joe and Ricochet appeared to pin each other, and the referee ended up making the call that the bout ended in a draw. As a result, both Ricochet and Samoa Joe will advance in the tournament and will face Baron Corbin in a Triple Threat semifinals match on Raw next week.

Next week's show takes place at Madison Square Garden, and WWE is attempting to load up the big event with names such as Steve Austin, who will appear on Raw, and The Undertaker, who will appear the next night on SmackDown Live.

One of the reasons why WWE decided to go with the ending of Joe vs Ricochet on Raw this week is so the company can showcase Ricochet against two big heels in the match next week, as the former U.S. Champion continues his rise in WWE.
