#6 WWE Superstar Ricochet (needs a new gimmick)

WWE Superstar Ricochet is one of the best high-flyers in all of pro wrestling. That isn't helping him much though, as he has been almost the same character for a long time now. In early 2019, Ricochet made his main roster debut, and fans were hopeful that he would be used properly in the coming months.

There's no going around it: Ricochet needs a lot of improvement when it comes to mic-work. A gimmick change might be a good way to help him get comfortable on the mic. His current persona of a guy who is simply "happy to be here", just isn't cutting out. Give him something that will make the fans care, or else the future's looking bleak in regards to his character development.


#5 WWE Superstar Randy Orton (doesn't need a new gimmick)

WWE veteran Randy Orton's career saw a resurgence in early 2020. He brought back the vicious character of The Viper who had terrorized WWE RAW back in 2008-09. Orton targeted WWE Hall of Famer Edge, and it led to an incredibly personal feud between the two. Over the next few months, Orton destroyed a string of WWE legends and is currently feuding with WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.

Randy Orton has been nothing but impressive throughout the year. The idea of what he's going to do to a universally-loved babyface is intriguing to the WWE fans. This is one gimmick that isn't going anywhere, anytime soon, and rightfully so.
