5 Superstars who aren't ready to challenge Drew McIntyre for the WWE title & 5 who are

#2. Isn't ready: Ricochet

Ricochet was the Superstar who assisted Drew McIntyre in eliminating Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble 2020. It was a great moment and it led to Ricochet beating Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley to earn a WWE Championship opportunity against Brock Lesnar at Super ShowDown 2020.

However, he lost in all but two minutes and would go on to lose a 24/7 Championship match to Riddick Moss. It was a bit ridiculous but we felt that it was likely a part of a bigger story arc to help Ricochet's character grow. That might have to be halted for a while as he's now in a tag team with Cedric Alexander - with the two being announced as a team on the RAW after WrestleMania 36.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

With Ricochet's involvement in Drew McIntyre's eventual Royal Rumble win, it would be a filler match with McIntyre and an unnecessary one at that. Simply put, Ricochet has a long way to go before being ready to compete for the WWE title again. We would expect that to be a year and a half minimum.
