#2 The backstage reaction to Ricochet
Ricochet felt like the biggest superstar in WWE during Stomping Grounds 2019. After he defeated Samoa Joe for the United States championship, he was shown in gorilla position and he received a huge ovation backstage.
The likes of Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair, Heavy Machinery and more were all out to give him an ovation and Triple H even gave him the proud "NXT dad" hug. Usually, we see these clips on WWE 24 or on social media, but we never see it on-screen like this.
The way he was treated (including the great reaction he got when he won) made it seem like WWE is really planning on pushing him big time. They realize that they have an extremely marketable star in Ricochet and not every superstar gets the kind of treatment that he got. WWE clearly has big plans for him and that was shown when he was received backstage.
