3. Ricochet
Throughout the back half of 2017, the biggest news for WWE’s free agent signing was the impending deal between WWE and Ricochet. Well, now WWE has officially announced The One And Only’s arrival to the Performance Center.

While the announcement that he has arrived to the Performance Center would lead many to think that Ricochet will start out in NXT, that may not be the case! He may not be as well known as AJ Styles was when Styles made his debut, but he could still take the same path.
WWE has posted a few times about Ricochet on their Twitter to try to get their fans familiar with the athlete, and that may be so he can seamlessly fit in with the main roster without spending too much time introducing himself.
Ricochet is an incredible, I mean INCREDIBLE athlete, and he would be able to put on an absolute spectacle in the Royal Rumble if given a chance. So, he could make a huge splash upon his arrival and show up for the Royal Rumble.
While Ricochet isn’t technically listed as an NXT Superstar, he’s a Superstar signed to WWE that has yet to make a televised appearance, so, to me, he’s eligible for a spot on this list.
