Ricochet is finally doing things his wayand hes making it clear thats how it shouldve been all along.
The AEW star, who famously dazzled crowds with his high-flying ability in WWE, recently opened up to Joseph Staszewski of New York Post Sports about the creative dead-end he hit on the main roster. While fans saw flashes of charisma and personality during his time in NXT, Ricochet revealed things quickly shifted after his 2019 main roster call-up.
I think you saw glimpses of it in NXT when I first got there, he said. I think you saw glimpses of the suit. I think you saw glimpses of the promos. I think you saw glimpses of the personality trying to shine through.
But when he was moved up to Raw and SmackDown, the vibe changed.
Then 2019, I just got moved, and then I kind of got stuck in a resident superhero, and I got stuck in a weird position, Ricochet said, adding, Once you get stuck in a position, youre kind of there until they deem it different.
And he didnt just sit back and wait for it to change. No matter how many ideas you pitch or how many things you say or how manyI made videos, he explained. I made personal videos to put them on. I did stuff. Until they really wanted it to happen, its just not going to happen.
Now that hes in AEW, Ricochet finally has the freedom to showcase the version of himself he always wanted fans to see. Lets take it into my own hands and lets allow me to be the one to introduce my personality, my characteristics, my own style, my way, the way I want to do it, and lets see if that works, he said. If it doesnt work, then thats all me. But as you can see, my way is the best way, really, and thats really with anything.
Ricochet is clearly feeling freeand fans are starting to see the true personality that WWE never let fully shine.
