Five genius moves WWE made at Stomping Grounds

#2 Having Richocet win The U.S Title

Let's see what Ricochet can do with The United States title

WWE needed some new blood at the top of the midcard, and interestingly enough have apparently decided to put Richochet into that role. At least, it seems that way after defeating Samoa Joe for The United States title at Stomping Grounds, and it could be the beginning of a huge push for the young star.

It also sets the stage for what should be a very intense midcard title picture, which is one of the things Monday Night Raw really needs right now. They also needed someone new to finally reach one of WWE's brass rings, and they finally got that with Ricochet winning his first main roster title.

In the end, it could be the beginning of something big or could end up being a big mistake, but at least WWE tried something new. Beyond that, they put the title on a rising star and that at least has to show fans that the company cares.
