As happy as I am to see Ricochet as the new Champion, Samoa Joe's latest reign as the United States Champion has been woefully short, which seems to pretty much be the career trajectory that he's followed ever since coming to the WWE main roster.
He just has not seemed like the same monster that he was back in NXT when he terrorized the roster. I suppose Vince McMahon does not see him in the same light that Triple H did. That said, I'm really happy that Ricochet is the United States Champion and I'm doubly glad that he's getting a push in the roster.

As always, I will end with a picture of The Goddess and ask you what you thought of her match. Do you think Nikki Cross will turn on her next?
Or will she be the one to turn on the Twisted Sister of WWE?
