7 NXT Superstars that should get a main roster push after WrestleMania

#3 Ricochet

Enter capti — Ricochet is one of the most desired stars in recent years by fans

I have a strong feeling that when the WWE history books are re-written, we will be able to look back at 2018 as one of the best signing periods in years. Along landing a deal with global sensation Ricochet, WWE officials also signed former IWGP Tag Team Champions, former ROH Tag Team Champs War Machine, as well as top-indie female star Candice LeRae. With all of the big-time names that have recently joined the ranks under the WWE umbrella, Ricochet is the top-dog, so to speak.

Ricochet is more than just another addition to the roster. He is a one-man highlight reel, capable of carrying any match, under any situations. Watching Ricochet in action almost feels like you're watching a video game character in action. His in-ring work is just that good.

This is a superstar who can and will step-up to the plate and does just about anything to help the product. His travels have carried him around the world and have resulted in some high-profile wins. Ricochet has also gained notoriety from controversial journalist Dave Meltzer as he was awarded Meltzer's elusive 5-Star match rating for his performance in a 6-man tag match where Ricochet partnered with Matt Sydal and Will Ospreay to take on members of The Bullet Club back in September of 2016.
