Since joining WWE back in 2018, Ricochet has been a very busy man. While he’s never claimed a top title during his time in the company – he’s been regularly able to claim the so called ‘midcard’ championships, becoming the first man in WWE to hold the NXT North American Championship, WWE United States Championship and WWE Intercontinental Championship. Even he was unaware of this until a fan pointed it out on Twitter, but reaffirmed that Ricochet is helping to boost the value of titles in WWE.
Ricochet On Making History
While speaking with Steve Fall of NBC Sports Boston on “The Ten Count” podcast, Ricochet would speak on making history and boosting the midcard titles of WWE. He’d be quoted saying the following.
“That was something that I was really unaware of until on Twitter, I found out. Someone posted it and I was like “Oh wow! I guess so!” But that’s awesome. Especially being organic and natural, not being something we planned, make it even better.
As somebody, who didn’t even get into wrestling because they didn’t think they’d ever be in the WWE because they’re so small. So to now be in the history of books as far as that goes, and I feel like I have a couple more things that can go into the history book as well.”
Recent Changes In WWE Have Made Belts Matter More
As for the man who took the belt from him in GUNTHER – Ricochet believes between GUNTHER and a change in management, the belts will rise even further. He’d say the following about the WWE Intercontinental Championship & United States Championships becoming more prevalent following the retirement of Vince McMahon.
“I think just presentation of the championships has always been important to me. Around ’92 ’93 ’94 ’95 ’96 ’97 ’98 ’99 like it was all about the champion. I think there will probably be you know more light on those which I think will help viewers watch it a little better and understand okay they’re going after that. So I think it’s all going to be perceived it’s going to be a great product.”
