#3 Ricochet defeats Drew McIntyre
Last week on Raw, two of WWE’s finest heels, Cesaro and Samoa Joe, came face to face in the first King of the Ring round match. After a stellar performance by both men, which gave us the match of the night, Joe defeated Cesaro to progress in the tournament.
While it was heartbreaking to watch a man like Cesaro choke out to Joe, WWE seems to have made the right decision to allow Joe to progress in the tournament.
Joe will either meet Ricochet or Drew McIntyre in the quarterfinals of the tournament after Ricochet and McIntyre do battle on Raw this coming week.
While McIntyre seems like the favorite to pull off a victory over his smaller opponent, WWE must book the match in such a way that Ricochet picks up an upset win over the Scottish Psychopath.
The reason for this is to protect a McIntyre and Samoa Joe match for later, as two huge heels should not simply go against each other in a King of the Ring quarterfinal. A loss for either man would hurt their villainous image, and Ricochet could play the part of rolling up McIntyre for a victory to lose to Joe later in the tournament.
