Aleister Black and Ricochet debuted in the main roster as a tag team unit. While it made for a very surprising kind of pairing, the two men showcased their wares for the duration that they lasted with some incredibly solid matches.

It is clear that Ricochet and Aleister Black are no longer a team anymore, at least while they're on two different brands. Thankfully, actual tag teams like The Viking Raiders and The Club are getting screen time, and hence, Ricochet and Black can focus on the singles division.

Black is working a different sort of gimmick at the moment. He has challenged everyone in the SmackDown locker room to step out and pick a fight with him.

And as a restart of sorts for Ricochet, he is being given a singles push so that the short-lived tag team run can be erased from the minds of fans.
