What a match, what a moment for Ricochet. Going into this title bout, no one expected the 30-year-old to defeat Samoa Joe. The submission specialist looked set to go on a long and dominant run as champion after finally regaining his title in controversial circumstances.

At times during this match, Joe would fling Ricochet across the ring like he was a piece of meat, physically dominating him. Alas, the athleticism and relentless of Ricochet would overcome the Samoan’s raw power to win his first title on the main roster.

These are the kind of moments that stick in the minds of the WWE universe for years to come. It’s these kinds of moments that will help this pay-per-view stand out from being just another B-rated PPV. Instead, the inaugural Stomping Grounds will forever be remembered as the launchpad of Ricochet.
