The September 2nd edition of RAW will feature Samoa Joe vs Ricochet in the 2nd round of the King of the Ring tournament. Ricochet defeated Drew McIntyre to advance to this round. Joe was able to choke out Cesaro to do the same.
I wanted to pass along my speculation on what will happen in this match and afterward.
I wanted to start off by saying that Samoa Joe vs Ricochet should be a really fun match. My hope is that WWE gives them plenty of time to do their thing. This could end up as one of the better matches of the tournament.
My gut says that Ricochet is going to be winning here. There are rumors that Ricochet is going to be pushed to the moon by Paul Heyman and having him go deep in the King of the Ring tournament seems like where we are heading.
I would also love to see Joe win but he reminds me of Drew McIntyre. Someone who is fairly protected by WWE but never ends up winning big matches. I think Joe will lose to Ricochet on RAW, just like McIntyre did.
My gut also says that the winner of this match will definitely be heading to the finals of the tournament from the RAW side of things. I don’t see either Cedric Alexander or Baron Corbin beating Ricochet or Joe.
Do you agree or disagree with me? Let me know in the comment section below.
