Who is he? A high-flying, well-traveled ten year veteran who can mix it up with any wrestling style but really shines in the Jr. weight classes.

Where have you seen him before? Ricochet has been in the business since 2006, and has appeared for Dragongate, New Japan, and Lucha Underground (where he was known as Prince Puma.) as well as various indie promotions.

What you can expect from him in the WWE: Ricochet has all the speed and technique to hang with the 205 Live crowd, but due to his larger frame for a cruiserweight he can also compete against larger men. His matches are blink-and-you-miss-it affairs of speed, agility, and strong-style strikes.

The former Super Junior Tournament Champion isn't as decorated as Smith and Rowe, but has some minor title reigns and tag team reigns under his belt.

Considered by many the best in the world at his weight class, Ricochet is just hitting his career prime and should be a part of WWE programming for years to come.
