5 stars WWE seems to have given up on

#3 Ricochet has struggled for TV time on WWE RAW as of late

From my first match on October 11th, 2003 in a guys back yard in front of maybe 15 people. To February 27th, 2020 in Saudi Arabia about to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Heavyweight Championship.

Ricochet is one of the most talented in-ring performers currently under WWE contract. The 32-year-old American is truly incredible between the ropes and - for a time - WWE seemed keen to capitalize on his unique abilities.

Only last February, Ricochet challenged Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship in the most high-profile match of his career at Super Showdown 2020. However, Lesnar won the bout emphatically, squashing Ricochet in a little over 90 seconds.

After his quick defeat in such a big match, Ricochet fell down the card swiftly. Somewhere along the way, WWE had clearly lost faith in The One And Only.

Unfortunately, 2021 has not started well for Ricochet either. His 10 matches on Main Event so far this calendar year vastly outweigh his appearances on RAW. His bouts on Main Event are usually of great quality, but are seen by depressingly few viewers.

The only person living a lie is you @AliWWE. Bet your ass we gonna run this back on #WWEMainEvent tomorrow on @hulu. But I promise you, it won’t be me who gets embarrassed. Because honestly, at the end of the day everyone remembers Ricochet. #WWERAW #SmackDown #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/tGEoa9sJSl

Ricochet is never going to be the most physically imposing superstar. However, his talent is undeniable and he is able to have a great match with almost anyone.

Currently, though, WWE doesn't seem interested in using Ricochet anywhere near his full potential.
