#1 The giant-slayer
It has been vastly reported that Paul Heyman is a big fan of Ricochet and plans to push him into the main event scene on Monday Night Raw. This tournament could be the perfect opportunity for WWE to insert him right into the mix.
Trending
Ricochet has been handed one of the most challenging brackets, with many potential roadblocks. He will face Drew McIntyre in the first round, in a match between two of the favourites to win the entire thing. This means that the former United States Champion could be eliminated after only a single match.
If he does conquer the Scottish Psychopath, he will face the winner of the all-heel clash between Samoa Joe and Cesaro. It is likely to be Joe, which will lead to a Stomping Grounds rematch. If Ricochet does win again, he would likely have to tackle another large man, in Baron Corbin, who is probably the office's favourite.
The One and Only would have to go through a multi-week gauntlet of giants to reach the final, where he could have an instant classic with anyone ranging from Kevin Owens to Andrade, or even Buddy Murphy.
It seems like the King of the Ring tournament and the (Raw) brackets have been designed to put Ricochet over massively, turning him into a main-event megastar under the directorship of Paul Heyman. It's not like he hasn't been called King Ricochet before, it literally is his Twitter handle!
