Ricochet might've fallen down the pecking order on the WWE main roster, over the past few months. However, make no mistake, the former Lucha Underground superstar will go down as one of WWE's biggest and hottest signings of all time.

Prior to signing with WWE in 2018, Ricochet made a name for himself all over the world, but his performances in Japan for Dragon Gate and New Japan Pro Wrestling caught the eye of many. However, the former IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champion also had a major influence on the American wrestling culture, courtesy of his work with Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Evolve, and Dragon Gate USA.

Ricochet also impressed with his stunning performances at the Lucha Underground temple where he competed under the moniker of Prince Puma and shared the stage with the likes of John Morrison, Rey Mysterio, and Pentagon Jr.

Upon his arrival in WWE two years ago, Ricochet became an instant fan-favorite in NXT, most notably due to his athletic abilities. It is safe to assume that he caught the eye of many notable WWE figures, including Triple H and was rewarded for his efforts when he won the NXT North American Championship from Adam Cole at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn IV.

Ricochet has successfully won over the WWE Universe with his phenomenal in-ring outings but that being said, the former US Champion would've established his place on the main roster as a notable contender if he had signed for WWE a few years ago. Regardless, I'm sure the WWE Universe would love to see Ricochet back at his best once again on the main roster.
