Ricochet faces Drew McIntyre in King of the Ring clash
One week after Ricochet’s successful team-up with The Miz against Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin, WWE’s resident superhero goes one-on-one with the savage Scotsman in the first round of the King of the Ring tournament.
The imposing McIntyre has a clear size advantage in this high-stakes matchup, but Ricochet is riding a wave of momentum following his tag team win this past Monday night. Will the high-flyer get one step closer to officially becoming King Ricochet on Monday night, or will McIntyre crush those dreams with a Claymore Kick?
The Miz squares off against Baron Corbin in first-round King of the Ring bout
Not long ago, Baron Corbin was the Constable of Raw, and he’s looking to add King to his list of monikers in the King of the Ring tournament. However, the first round of the tourney puts The Lone Wolf up against The Miz, who’s no stranger to lofty descriptors himself: In addition to being WWE’s A-Lister, Miz is, like Corbin, a Money in the Bank winner, but he’s also a former WWE Champion, a two-time United States Champion, an eight-time Intercontinental Champion, a seven-time Tag Team Champion and, oh yeah, a soon-to-be two-time father.
Miz certainly has the experience and accolades to put Corbin away in the King of the Ring tourney, but the calculating Corbin is as ruthless as they come – he infamously retired WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle at WrestleMania, after all. Will we soon witness the ascent of King Corbin?
Can Sasha Banks’ rampage be stopped?
One week after returning and laying out an injured Natalya and Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks continued her rampage by once again targeting The Queen of Harts and insulting Natalya’s late father, WWE Hall of Famer Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart.
The Man made it clear in her interview on Raw that when she sees Banks again, she is going to give her “something to go run home and cry about.” However, that confrontation has yet to happen. Will anyone step to The Boss in New Orleans?
