Ricochet is one of the fastest rising stars in WWE and the fact that AJ Styles turned heel against him only means that there are huge plans for him in the future. He's being pushed as though he's the next big thing and he very well could be, depending on how he handles it and how WWE manages to handle him.

He put on a great effort but was unsuccessful in retaining the United States Championship, losing to a very worthy opponent in AJ Styles (who cheated to win the title). However, many fans didn't notice that Ricochet was using very specific armdrags - exactly like that of Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, one of the all-time greats.

It was nice to see Ricochet pay tribute to a WWE and wrestling legend like that. There's no doubt that Steamboat has influenced his style.
