Ricochet made a name for himself wrestling all over the world and in 2018 he signed a WWE contract. In 2019, Ricochet was called up from NXT, and he recently spoke out about his time on the WWE main roster.
While talking about his WWE run on the Mark Hoke Show, Ricochet held nothing back as he made it clear that he feels getting called up to the main roster was the worst thing that happened in his career so far.
“You’ve seen the Marvel movies? Thanos snaps, and there was a five-year blip of people (who) were just gone. That five years was like being blipped away into a different universe. It just wasn’t what I was doing, it wasn’t me. Coming back to AEW and finding that love, it’s like when Tony Stark finally defeated Thanos and all the people came back. That’s how I feel, Ricochet finally came back to what he was doing. And I feel like that five years was just blipped away.”
“I already know how this is going to sound, and I already know how people are going to take this, but I think that the day we got called up to Raw was the worst thing that happened to Ricochet’s wrestling career.”
Ricochet went on to clarify that he was specifically talked about the wrestling side of things when he added, “The trajection that I was on compared to the trajection that I got for those five years and how it completely changed the public’s image of Ricochet and who Ricochet was. Specifically the wrestling side of it, that five years really tarnished Ricochet’s wrestling legacy.”
