WWE News: Shocking result as King of The Ring favorite eliminated in round one
The WWE King of the Ring tournament continued on this week's episode of WWE RAW. Heading into the tournament, Drew McIntyre was looked on as one of the favorites to win the whole thing. His physique and character captured the imagination of the WWE Universe, as they pegged him as the possible winner of the entire tournament.
When the match finally took place on RAW between The One and Only and the Scottish Psychopath, heading into the match, there was a moment where it looked like McIntyre might have cursed his chances of winning the tournament, as he sat on the throne.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be true.
What happened on RAW when Ricochet faced Drew McIntyre?
Ricochet and Drew McIntyre had one of the best matches of the King of the Ring tournament so far. With Ricochet's pace and Drew McIntyre's incredibly hard-hitting offense, the WWE Universe was spoilt by some of the best action on RAW.

Ricochet managed to stop Drew McIntyre from advancing in the tournament as he managed to land a 630-Splash on the Scottish Psychopath. It was enough and Ricochet advanced to the next round, while McIntyre sat, shocked by a loss that he had not been expecting, and one he possibly brought on himself by being too sure.
