Every other Superstar on WWE RAW and SmackDown is announcing their entry into the 2021 Royal Rumble. However, just like Drew Gulak, Ricochet too was forced to compete in a match against AJ Styles to earn the opportunity.

While logic failed here, it was good to have these two skilled competitors enter the ring together again. Ricochet was confident and took the fight to the former WWE Champion. The two men have had several matches on WWE RAW before, and the chemistry was there to make this the match of the night.

Styles prepared to hit The Phenomenal Forearm but The One and Only turned it into the Recoil for a near fall. The two men fought on the ropes before Styles bounced Ricochet off the top rope and hit him with the Styles Clash for the win.

The match was great, but there were a few flaws in the build-up to it. However, Styles got another opportunity to stay on top while Ricochet got a major match after his story with RETRIBUTION that ended up going nowhere on WWE RAW.

Will Ricochet still get a chance to appear during the 2021 Royal Rumble and possibly eliminate Styles from the match?
