Ricochet's Botched Match Finish and Injury Update Shake Up WWE Raw's Intercontinental Title Contender Scene

Ricochet's botched finish in the 4Way Intercontinental title #1 contender's match on Raw was reportedly due to him being rocked earlier in the match when his head hit the mat, resulting in a concussion. The planned simultaneous double pin was disrupted as Ricochet kicked out of the Ivar moonsault.
