Ricochet is another WWE Superstar who is skilled in the ring and has lots of potential but has been a victim of poor booking.

Ricochet held the North American Championship in NXT before moving to the main roster and forming a short-lived tag team with Aleister Black. His early run on the red brand as a singles competitor was actually decent.

He scored victories over larger opponents such as Samoa Joe, whom he defeated to win the United States Championship, his first title on the main roster. Ricochet went on to earn a WWE Championship opportunity at Brock Lesnar after he defeated Bobby Lashley and Seth Rollins to win the match.

He also helped Drew McIntyre to eliminate The Beast from the 2019 Men's Royal Rumble match. Ricochet's run in WWE, however, hasn't been going the way he expected it to.

His former partner and friend Cedric Alexander betrayed him to join The Hurt Business while Mustafa Ali, a wrestler he allied with in the past, was revealed as the leader of RETRIBUTION.

Unfortunately for Ricochet, he became a victim of the faction's assault, and there might be no other way for him out other than to join RETRIBUTION.

As the saying goes, "If you can't beat them, join them."
