New Champion Crowned At Stomping Grounds 2019

One and only. Tonight, at the 2019 WWE Stomping Grounds pay-per-view, a title change took place that fans have been looking forward to for a long time.

In his first singles title opportunity, Ricochet defeated Samoa Joe to become the new United States champion.

You can see a clip from their match below:

From WWE.com:

Joe’s powerful blows had Ricochet reeling more than once, but the surging Superstar continued to fight his way back to his feet. In the clutch, Ricochet staggered Joe with a barrage of quick strikes, but he looked to be in trouble when the titleholder caught him in the Coquina Clutch. Perhaps moments from passing out in the excruciating hold, Ricochet escaped by dropping Joe’s neck against the top rope, and the aerial sensation followed up by kneeing The Samoan Submission Machine in the face and sealing the win with an awe-inspiring 630 Splash to secure his first championship victory in WWE.

Editor’s Opinion:

This is fantastic for a couple of reasons. First, it gives Ricochet the opportunity to continue to establish himself as a thriving singles star in WWE. Second, it potentially allows Samoa Joe to move on to bigger and better things; namely a major championship in the company. Congratulations to the One and Only!
