It’s no secret that WWE programming is going to be pretty unique, next week. The company is heading back to the world’s most famous arena, after all. As announced earlier, WWE confirmed that next week’s Raw and Smackdown Live shows will take place at the Madison Square Garden in New York City. This marks an end of almost ten years of hiatus that WWE brings the weekly programming to MSG.

The interesting part is that WWE has recently created a match at Madison Square Garden for one particular superstar. His name is Ricochet who will be competing in the King of the Ring semi-finale match. The original singles contest was no more intact on the show as we learned about a triple threat match. There’s a reason why WWE announced so.
As per the reports of Dave Meltzer on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE set up the triple threat semifinals match in the King Of The Ring Tournament only for Ricochet. The high-flying superstar will be up against two bigger villains in the same match. Although there are no confirmations whether he’d win, the match will showcase his incredible athleticism to the Madison Square Garden crowd. Here’s more from the source, (courtesy ringsidenews.com)
“They’re doing a three-way which actually makes no sense, but the idea there is to actually showcase Ricochet which is not saying that he’s necessarily winning. He might be, but the idea is that in the match at The Garden Ricochet’s going to be there as a babyface against two heels and two big heels and he’s not a big guy so they dynamic is supposed to work for him — I mean the match is for him.”
The King Of The Ring tournament 2019 edition has become very interesting so far. The favorite names to win the series like Drew McIntyre, Kevin Owens or Andrade is no more intact on this, anymore. Ricochet seems to be a clear favorite to overcome all the odds and snatch the crown. It’ll be interesting to see how the tournament continues from the Madison Square Garden arena, next week.
