Outside the ring, however, the two appear to be good friends, with Ricochet once stating that Taylor has "been there for me since day one."
Meanwhile, on the September 11 "Dynamite,"Ricochet picked up a win over current ROH Tag Team Champion SammyGuevara. The Beast Mortos attacked him after the match, which Guevara helped put a stop to.
