After winning a number one contender’s elimination match, Ricochet is set to challenge for Samoa Joe’s United States Championship at Stomping Grounds on Sunday (June 23).
Ricochet defeated The Miz, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley, and Cesaro in the five-way elimination match. Joe tried to attack Ricochet after, but Ricochet sent him over the ropes and took him out with a dive.
Strowman eliminated Cesaro and Lashley in the number one contender’s match. Despite being eliminated, Lashley gave Strowman a spear and Cesaro hit a Neutralizer on Strowman. That allowed Ricochet to eliminate Strowman after hitting a 630. Cesaro and Lashley helped Ricochet pin Strowman.
