5 Things WWE Subtly told us on SmackDown: Unexpected new challenger for Roman Reigns, Former US Champion finally turning heel for the first time?

#4. Is Ricochet getting a character change on SmackDown?

Drew McIntyre had his "SmackDown Warriors" open challenge, and it was answered by a man with who he's crossed paths numerous times. Ricochet challenged McIntyre and slapped him in the face before their match.

Unsurprisingly, their impromptu bout was a great one. It wasn't too long, but it was highly physical and did what it needed to do. While Drew McIntyre was always going to pick up the win, it was about giving Ricochet a good showing.

The latter seemingly teased a heel turn, while Mustafa Ali watched carefully with interest backstage. McIntyre won with an unusual Claymore Kick out of nowhere.

He paid his respects to Ricochet afterward and walked away, but the night wasn't over for the former US Champion. Backstage, Ali was talking about how much better they would be together, and Ricochet refused. He said that he didn't trust him after what he did to Mansoor and that Mustafa Ali was a "jerk" who made excuses all the time.

We're either getting a slow-burn Ricochet heel turn on SmackDown or a regular feud between him and Ali.
