#3. Ricochet getting squashed

Everybody said that Ricochet would stand no chance against Brock Lesnar. As it turned out, they were right. In the minds of many, Ricochet should have been one of the "smaller" opponents that worked well with Brock Lesnar, similar to AJ Styles in 2017 and Daniel Bryan in 2018.

Lesnar seems to like working with smaller Superstars and the dynamic in the ring turns out to be better. However, none of this applied to Ricochet. He was in the ring for the "biggest match of his career" and he ended up getting squashed in 80-90 seconds.

He didn't get any offense in and was taken to suplex city and quickly finished. While nobody expected or wanted Ricochet to win the WWE Championship, the least that the company could have done for him would have been to have a good match in which he's allowed to get some offense in.

It could have even been just 8-10 minutes. They had the time on the card but instead, they chose to utilize that on the wrong matches.
