Ricochet wants to prove that he’s the man.
During his time with WWE, Ricochet held the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the WWE United States Championship, but he never fully reached the next level. He then left WWE on July 1, and he signed with AEW. Since his debut at AEW All In, he has established himself as one of the most buzzworthy competitors on the roster.
Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Undisputed, Ricochet made it clear that he wanted to prove that he can be a top guy.
“I’m going to show everyone that I’m the man,” Ricochet said. “I’m going to prove I can carry a company. It’s time to show everyone why I’m here. I was talking with my wife about this, and I said there was this one hurdle in my career I need to jump, and that is being the top dog.”
“Becoming the best, that’s not why I started wrestling. I was a 14-year-old kid, and wrestling kept me off the streets. It was fun, it allowed me to travel, and I fell in love with it. That was always my goal, but it’s different now. I believe I’m one of the best, and I’m going to show it here.”
Ricochet On His Future
Ricochet also looked forward to the future and stated that so much was possible. He stated that this was his chance to get to the next level.
“I’m super pumped for the future and what’s to come,” he said. “So much is possible. It’s a new beginning. There is no guarantee it will work. But for the past 21 years, it’s worked out pretty well everywhere I’ve worked. This is my chance to get to the next level.”
WrestleZone will have coverage of AEW Dynamite as it airs on November 20.
