Ricochet Says He Tried To Show His Current Personality In WWE But “Got Stuck In A Weird Position …”
Ricochet is finally showing a well-rounded character to support his awe-inspiring in-ring abilities.
During a recent interview with Joseph Staszewski of New York Post Sports this week, the AEW star and former WWE Superstar spoke about trying to show glimpses of his current persona in WWE NXT, and how he eventually βgot stuck in a weird positionβ on the main roster that he couldnβt get out of.
βI mean, Iβve always tried to tell everybody about what Iβm capable of and who, if I can be my true self, who that or what that can be,β Ricochet said. βI think you saw glimpses of it in NXT when I first got there. I think you saw glimpses of the suit. I think you saw glimpses of the promos. I think you saw glimpses of the personality trying to shine through. I think you saw glimpses of it.β
He continued, βThen 2019, I just got moved, and then I kind of got stuck in a resident superhero, and I got stuck in a weird position, I guess you would say. Heck, at the end of the day, I tried to do my best to show the world my own personality. But, once you get stuck in a position, youβre kind of there until they deem it different.β
Ricochet then went on to reveal how far he went during his time in WWE, including pitching many ideas, making videos to support his pitches, and more, only for nothing to happen every time.
βNo matter how many ideas you pitch or how many things you say or how manyβ¦I made videos,β he said. βI made personal videos to put them on. I made, I did stuff. Until they really wanted it to happen, itβs just not going to happen. But that could have been literally any day. Iβm not saying it could have been the next week. It could have been like, letβs use this guy. Letβs screw that. Letβs take it into my own hands and letβs, letβs allow me to be the one to introduce, my personality, my characteristics, my own style, my way, the way I want to do it, and letβs see if that works. If it doesnβt work, then thatβs all me. If it doesnβt work and catch on, then I guess thatβs my fault. I made a mistake. But as you can see, my way is the best way, really, and thatβs really with anything.β
