WWE Stomping Grounds 2019: 5 Potential Finishes for Samoa Joe vs Ricochet - United States Championship

#4 Samoa Joe successfully defends his United States Championship

Samoa Joe is easily the favorite heading into this Championship match

Samoa Joe is definitely someone who strikes fear into the hearts of many of his challengers, but now that he has a Championship belt he wears a target on his back. Joe was able to successfully defend the title against Rey Mysterio back at WrestleMania in a very quick match, but at Money in the Bank, all of his hard work was undone.

Joe may have been able to gain his Championship back through a technicality, since his shoulders weren't technically down for the pin, but he will be wanting to prove that he is the rightful Champion. To do so, he needs to come out on top on Sunday night so that he can continue to reign over his division like the Samoan Submission Machine that he still claims to be.
