#5 Ricochet (Will Not Benefit):

Ricochet's first night on Raw as a solo competitor didn't go as expected.
Ricochet was called up to the main roster in February. Like NXT, he started teaming up with Aleister Black. The chemistry between the two members and their matches were quite amazing. However, they lacked a clear direction and defining characters.

Anyone who has been a fan of WWE for a long time knows that gimmicks or unique personalities are necessary in order to thrive on main roster, especially on the flagship show. Unfortunately, Ricochet lacks both as of now.
It would have been better for him to keep teaming up with Black for a few more months. Until he develops a strong charismatic personality, "The One and Only" will have a hard time finding a prominent position on the roster. A clean loss to Bobby Robert Roode on his first night as a solo competitor isn't a sign of good things to come. Here's hoping that he bounces back from the loss and enters the US title scene sooner than later.

Ali Siddiqui is a listicle and feature writer for Sportskeeda Wrestling since 2018. After completing his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, he decided to write for Sportskeeda Wrestling after learning about it through a friend. He briefly worked for The Sportster as well.
Ali's love for pro wrestling dates back to when Randy Orton won a Battle Royal to become the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2004. His current favorite wrestler is Cody Rhodes because he's the ultimate throwback babyface. He believes Rhodes has the Surfer Sting's passion, Bret Hart's prop-gifting schtick, a catchy theme like Hogan's, and a kid-friendly demeanor akin to John Cena's.
When he is not doing research for his articles on Google or catching up with the latest in pro wrestling, Ali can be found honing his Data Science and AI skills as he strives to get back into tech in the near future.
