5 WWE Superstars who should answer the Intercontinental Open Challenge

#2 Ricochet

North America and the Continents collide!

In 2016, Ricochet versus Will Ospreay at the Best of Super Juniors pit two sensational high flyers in an iconic match. The two men put on a clinic that was both absurdly meta as it was a thrilling standoff. High flyers often get out a stellar match against one another, and Ricochet is the best at doing so.

A bout against a more subdued Seth Rollins shall provide a variant on the formula, yet undoubtedly give us a high-flying spectacle for the ages. The two are so well versed in new age wrestling storytelling, especially of the fast-paced variety, yet Rollins' experience could add the right tinge to give Ricochet a nice learning curve, and shoot him straight to main roster relevancy.

At the same time, if permitted for the match, then Rollins could easily portray a heelish edge and elevate the dramatic stakes. All in all, with his flashiness, Ricochet doesn't necessarily need a boost to thrill the WWE Universe. Yet, this contest will see the ever dependable Rollins help put over the young man for the management behind the scenes.
