WWE Stomping Grounds : 3 reasons why Ricochet should win the US Championship
NXT graduate Ricochet overcame all the odds and won the fatal-5 way elimination match also featuring Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley, The Miz, and Cesaro on this week's RAW to earn the right to challenge Samoa Joe at WWE Stomping Grounds. This is the first time that King Ricochet will feature in a singles pay-per-view match ever since moving up to the main roster.
Also, this is the first time Ricochet will fight for a singles title on a main roster pay-per-view. While many fans are backing Samoa Joe to retain the title and continue his devastating reign on Monday Night RAW, I feel Ricochet should win the United States Championship at WWE Stomping Grounds.
I know it would be a bit early to hand the former North American Champion a title as prestigious as the US title, but here are the 3 reasons why Ricochet should become the new champion this Sunday.
#3 Return of the United States Open Challenge
While the 24/7 Championship has allowed all the lower mid-card superstars to appear on TV, the way they are chasing the title is not something which will establish them as stars on RAW. WWE needs to give the US title to Ricochet and allow him to defend the title week in and week out.
We saw some major improvements on RAW this week as many fans are billing it as the best RAW of 2019. The return of the US title match could improve the content much more. Ricochet can defend the title on a weekly basis against the likes of Cesaro, Robert Roode, Bobby Lashley, Mojo Rawley, Sami Zayn and even faces like Zack Ryder, Cedric Alexander and Rey Mysterio.
This will not only elevate the US title to the next level but also establish Ricochet as a premier superstar.
