2. Samoa Joe Giving Ricochet The Green Light

Spot of the night belonged to the trio of Samoa Joe, Baron Corbin and Ricochet. Towards the end of their Triple Threat KOTR semi, Joe had Corbin locked in a Coquina Clutch at ringside. Suddenly, Ricochet hit a Shooting Star Press off the ring apron onto both rivals, and, as Pat Patterson might say, MSG "went banana".

Joe made sure Rico's timing was flawless.

Look closely at the big Samoan heel to see him nod right before Ricochet's stunt. That was him giving the high-flyer a green light to hit his mark. It's notable that Joe moved his leg away from Baron's mid-rift as well. That gave Ricochet a bigger, flatter target to hit.
