5 Things WWE subtly told us on RAW: KOTR winner teased, unexpected change to Clash of Champions main event? (August 26th, 2019)

#4 Ricochet is the man they're going with

The best start Ricochet could ask for

Ricochet had the toughest first-round match out of all the young "up and coming" stars of the King of the Ring tournament. While Samoa Joe vs Cesaro was a higher-level match-up, Ricochet vs Drew McIntyre was as expected, an intense affair.

Ricochet seems to have the tournament tailor-made for him, especially since he often goes by the moniker "King Ricochet". He faced Drew McIntyre and struggled but eventually came out on top.

There have been all sorts of rumours flying around about Paul Heyman being high on Ricochet and by the looks of how he has been getting pushed, it's not only Heyman who is behind him.

It's going to be interesting to see how it all plays out and you can expect a heel from the SmackDown side to go through to the finals. It seems like a no-brainer at this point that Ricochet will beat Samoa Joe while Baron Corbin likely beats Cedric Alexander.

It'll make for two major hurdles for Ricochet to jump over, but from the look of things, the King of the Ring is truly going to be his tournament and one that will give him his breakout moment.
