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.

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.
