WWE: 5 Superstars ready to capture WWE’s vacant US Title
By Kyle Brown
4. Ricochet
One of the most recent NXT call-ups, Ricochet has wowed audiences with his insane aerial offense and ability to take bumps like few others can.
The problem for Ricochet has been that he has suffered from a lack of opportunity. It seems, at times, he is put into ladder matches or other higher profile bouts to be nothing more than a highlight for a big spot. It never seems like Ricochet is a legit contender.
It’s time for WWE to change Ricochet’s course.
The One and Only should be given the chance to show what he can do with gold around his waist. If people have any doubts about whether he can hang in an elevated role, just look at his match with Cesaro from Raw. It was, for me, the best match I’ve watched on a Monday night in recent memory. Many felt the same way.
For those of us that remember Ricochet as Prince Puma during his Lucha Underground days, or followed his run as NXT North American champion, Ricochet has proven that he is at his best when holding a title.
I feel like pulling a Batista at this point … WWE, put the US Title on Ricochet. GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!
