WWE Raw: 5 reasons Ricochet defeated Drew McIntyre to progress in the King of the Ring Tournament

#1 To make his progress seem realistic

Ricochet was the United States Champion not too long ago

Ricochet has had a level of success only a few could have dreamed of heading into the main roster. Coming out as the North American Champion, Ricochet was moved to the main roster and enjoyed quite a bit of success with Aleister Black before carrying on as a singles competitor.

Ricochet went on to become the United States Champion and had a good rivalry with AJ Styles, which has allowed him to rub shoulders with the biggest wrestling stars.

To make his progress on the main roster seem more realistic, and carry on the momentum, it’s right for WWE to book him to go one-up over McIntyre and reach the quarterfinals.

At Stomping Grounds on June 23, Ricochet defeated Samoa Joe to win the United States Championship, and this could prove to be a great factor in Joe and Ricochet’s clash next week. Joe will surely try to exact revenge from the man who took the title away from him while Ricochet will try his best to stay on his winning ways.
