WWE Super ShowDown: 5 Superstars who flopped at the PPV and 5 who didn't

#2 Flopped: Ricochet

The Resident Superhero of WWE may not be fond of this type of flying!

This one probably falls on the creatives. However, the fact that it was Ricochet who took the disastrous loss inside the ring, he is included in the list based on the performance. It was always going to be Brock Lesnar who would walk out with the title in a match against WWE’s Resident Superhero. But their bout was simply embarrassing for one of the promising performers on the roster tonight.

Despite knowing the fact that the ‘Beast Incarnate’ can work great matches with high-flying, super-fast performers, WWE decided to go for a squash match once again. In less than two minutes, Ricochet was lying face flat in the middle of the ring after he was pinned by the WWE Champion. The latter managed to get back and glare at the Champion as he was leaving but it was too late to create any memorable moment.

Ricochet didn’t need the title to make a statement, he just needed a good match. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t even get the opportunity to familiarise himself with the environment before he was forced to walk backstage.
