#3 Impressed on WWE RAW: AJ Styles

AJ Styles fought against Ricochet in arguably the best match of WWE RAW this week. It all started when Ricochet was talking to Adam Pearce about more opportunities on the Red brand. Styles interfered in their conversation and decided to belittle Ricochet and Pearce, which led to a match between the two Superstars.

Throughout their in-ring battle, both Styles and Ricochet took turns to assert their dominance. They both looked good as they relied extensively on their respective strengths. Styles implied his heelish tactics to better his opponent while Ricochet showed incredible resilience in fighting back against The Phenomenal One on WWE RAW.

The only thing missing from this match was a good build-up, and it is something that the creative should invest in the following weeks. This may just be storyline that will push Ricochet higher up on
