Ricochet claims WWE did not allow him to lift major RAW star: "It makes him look bad"

Ricochet recently made his debut in All Elite Wrestling and has instantly become a fan favorite. Furthermore, he is scheduled to face Will Osprey for the AEW International Championship at the AEW Dynamite five-year Anniversary show, next month.

Before signing with the Jacksonville-based promotion, Ricochet was a WWE Superstar. There he won the WWE Intercontinental Championship, the WWE United States Championship, the NXT North American Championship, and more. He locked horns with some of the company's top names, including the "The Scottish Psychopath" Drew McIntyre. They battled multiple times, however, recently, The Highlight of the Night revealed that he was instructed not to lift McIntyre because "it made him look bad."

The high flyer recently appeared on Chris Jericho's'Talk Is Jericho' podcast and revealed what Vince McMahon told him after he picked up McIntyre in a match.

"I can’t give Bobby Lashley a suplex or like, even one time, me and Drew were in there and we did something and I did something, obviously I went to pick him up and I couldn’t pick him up and then we did a story where. I gave him a couple kicks and he fell into the ropes and he came out and I used his momentum to pick him up and give him a move, and I came to the back and they said, ‘No, you can’t do that.’ Literally, they told me, ‘You can’t do that. You can’t pick Drew up. It makes him look bad.’ But I can squat over 400-plus pounds, so it’s like, you know what I mean? said Richochet. [H/T: Post Wrestling]
