WWE Raw: 4 wrestlers who could take the US Title from Samoa Joe
Ricochet
Few wrestlers in WWE have Ricochet‘s potential, and it is scary what this man is capable of inside the squared circle. He makes the most acrobatic, fluid moves look effortless, executing his aerial assaults with unbelievable precision.
Ricochet is very much a future world champion, especially as he continues to grow into his own as a promo. A relatable person and a talented story-teller, Ricochet could be a perfect feud partner for Samoa Joe, especially since, like Aleister Black, the two never got to clash inside an NXT ring.
Though Ricochet has been competing for various tag team championships with Black as his partner, the first title that “The One and Only” holds in WWE will likely be a singles championship. That could very well be the US Title, and Ricochet, as an up-and-comer, could be an even better underdog hero as Joe’s opponent than Rey Mysterio.

Another aspect of Ricochet’s game that is undervalued is his strength. The man brings plenty of raw power to the table, and Triple H and the agents at NXT did a great job of allowing Ricochet to show that he can be a “heavyweight”. Samoa Joe could be in for a surprise on that front, though, of course, Joe is a meticulous strategist who is rarely caught off-guard.
