#3 Ricochet
There was a time, not too long ago, in which independent wrestling was inundated with a plethora of extremely talented stars. From coast-to-coast and around the world, independent wrestling was where you went for the best in in-ring entertainment.
With that said, WWE still ruled the roost by way of programming budgets and simple name recognition. However, the smaller guys of professional wrestling were finally getting some long-overdue respect and out of those smaller promotions, names like Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, reDRagon and Ricochet were among some of those sought-after names that seemed untouchable, even for WWE officials.
This wasn't because WWE was attractive anymore, but rather some of these guys could stay on the independent scene, work less and make a good living. But at the end of the day, the name WWE can be very persuasive when they see something - or someone - they want.
Fast forward through an unbelievable wrestling career thus far, and now we have Ricochet on the WWE main roster. Not only do we have him, but he is propelling to the top extremely fast. Over the past several months, we have witnessed the potential that this man has and the money that can be made. Having him run a brief feud against John Cena would only enhance his status even further and put him in the position to possibly main event WrestleMania sooner than later.
