Sometimes, a simple action segment (read: a match) is enough to merit an “up” here.

The tag match between the four Raw King of the Ring participants not in action Monday night wasn’t anything super-special – it was good, but it wasn’t really memorable – but it was good enough to keep your attention while showcasing the star of the bout, Ricochet.

The One and Only flew around the ring after a hot tag, hitting everything that moved and staying in control even after things broke down. Ricochet scored the pinfall with an assist from Miz, giving fans a nice show with the right outcome.

Hopefully, this is a preview of what’s to come during the tournament.
