WWE's Trevor Mann is one of the best professional wrestlers on the planet today. He has developed a great resume in the world of professional wrestling, winning championships in every major wrestling promotion that he has been a part of.
Some of them include the PWG World Championship, IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championship, and most recently the NXT North American Championship.
What makes the man known to the fans as the one and only 'Ricochet' is his ability to do things that people have a hard time comprehending. His acrobatic skills are such that it makes you go; "is that really possible?". His work has been praised by legends like The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin, who have predicted a future world champion in the Kentucky native.
Ricochet signed with the WWE in January this year, and his debut for the company was at NXT Takeover: New Orleans, in an epic six-man ladder match for the NXT North American Championship.
Ricochet has been creating ripples in the black and yellow brand, defeating the likes of Fabian Aichner, The Velveteen Dream, and now Adam Cole. It seems like Ricochet is destined for bigger and better things inside the WWE ring.
Keeping all that in mind, here are five dream matches for Ricochet once he gets called up to the main roster.
#5 Ricochet vs Seth Rollins
Let's start this list with CrossFit Jesus himself, Seth Rollins. Rollins is having the best run of his WWE career, and has been getting the biggest reaction from the crowd and putting on the match of the night every week.
Ricochet on his part has stayed true to his word and has become the most electrifying man in NXT. Rollins vs Ricochet will be a dream match for the ages, with plenty of high flying moves. Expect a lot of suicide dives, frog splashes, and an array of gravity defying aerial maneuvers.
Another thing that makes it a dream match is the fact that Rollins and Ricochet haven't faced off against each other in a major promotion during their stints on the independent circuit. This one is going to be a first time ever encounter. Given how talented and red hot these two are at the moment, it would be a sure classic.
#4 Ricochet vs AJ Styles
There cannot be a dream match list in this era without the mention of AJ Styles. The current WWE Champion has had one of the best rookie years in the company's history, capturing the WWE Championship in his two year plus stint with the company, in addition to winning the United States Championship twice.
AJ is a great high flyer in his own right, performing top rope Phenomenal Forearm and 450 Splashes at an age of 41.
Ricochet is having a great rookie year himself, and has had victories over two of the top superstars in NXT - The Velveteen Dream and Adam Cole. The current NXT North American Champion has been over since his debut at NXT Takeover: New Orleans.
Ricochet and AJ Styles have the ability to put on great matches against almost anyone. There is no reason why they can't do the same against one another. This is the one fans are eagerly awaiting. Expect this to be high flying spot fest with lots and lots of high aerial offensive maneuvers.
#3 Ricochet vs Mustafa Ali
If there is one person on WWE's main roster who comes close to matching Ricochet's high flying athleticism, it is Mustafa Ali. He has been winning over fans and critics with his array of high flying maneuvers. The Chicago native has become one of the cornerstones of 205 Live ever since Triple H took charge of the show.
He earned a lot of praise for his match against Cedric Alexander for the Cruiserweight Championship at WrestleMania 34. In spite of failing to capture the Cruiserweight title, Ali wowed the New Orleans crowd with his stunning athleticism, and even had John Cena shocked by delivering a Crushing Spanish Fly from the top rope. A future title reign is on the horizon for the man they call 'The heart of 205 Live'.
Ricochet vs Ali is a match which I would personally like to see. While some may argue that moving Ricochet to 205 Live will be sort of a demotion for him, I think putting him on 205 Live will help the show grab more attention as the star power of Ricochet can help draw audiences to watch the show.
Ali and Ricochet can put on a spectacular match if they are provided with the right time and right circumstances. The sky will be the limit for this one.
#2 Ricochet vs Rey Mysterio
With rumors of Rey Mysterio going back to the WWE surfacing over the past year, the probability of this match actually happening is very high. Rey Mysterio is excepted to be back in the WWE by September, which means that the company will be looking to place him in Super Show-Down at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on October 6.
While the title of the article does suggest the dream matches for Ricochet on the main roster, why not do it earlier. A main roster vs NXT dream match is something fans will be pretty excited to see, and with names like Rey Mysterio and Ricochet involved, WWE might have a match of the year candidate on their hands.
Ricochet has time and time again stated that Rey Mysterio is one of his biggest idols in the business along with The Rock. This will not be the first meeting between the two, as they have faced off against one another in Lucha Underground. Just imagine Ricochet facing his idol with over 70,000 fans watching, this would be a sight to behold.
#1 Ricochet vs Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy is one of the most popular superstars to ever step foot inside a WWE ring. But despite being in the business for over two decades, his popularity hasn't diminished one bit. The Charismatic Enigma continues to enthrall fans with his death defying stunts inside and outside the ring.
While age has certainly taken a toll on the younger Hardy's body, and his in-ring work is not as smooth as it once was, he still can put on a good match with anyone on the main roster. Jeff is one of the best creative minds in the company, with his artistic pursuits in the field of music, painting, sculpting, and motor crossing.
Ricochet vs Jeff Hardy will be a dream match for the ages. They are undoubtedly two of the best high flyers in the business, and have never faced off against one another. The icing on the cake will be having this match under TLC rules.
We recently got a glimpse of what Ricochet can do with a ladder at NXT Takeover: New Orleans, and does one really need to say anything about Jeff Hardy and ladder matches? Expect this match to be filled with death defying high spots which will be remembered for years to come.
