Twice in the past year, Ricochet has crossed the path of GUNTHER when it came to the WWE Intercontinental Championship. He was the man that GUNTHER initially beat for the belt, and later would win the Smackdown World Cup for a chance to reclaim it. Both time, he was unable to defeat The Ring General – but Ricochet loves working matches with hard hitting opponents like GUNTHER.
Ricochet Loves Being Tested In Hard Hitting Matches
While speaking to Stephanie Chase, Ricochet had a chance to reflect on their second match. Speaking to Stephanie Chase, Ricochet reflected on the match.
“I’ve obviously known him for a long time now, and he’s always been great to work with. He still is, he’s a great fella, a great human. Except when he gets in the ring. He gets in the ring and he totally changes, he starts chopping me and it really hurts. I do enjoy those matches with the Gunthers, Sheamus, Bobby Lashley, the more physical altercations.
I do enjoy those. I don’t know if I enjoy more like that or like Santos Escobar, Humberto Carrillo, or something like that because they’re so different and I like the aspects of both of them. I like the physicality and the brutalness of Sheamus and Gunther, but I like the speed and technique and skills of the other matches.
It’s hard to pick which one you like more because, as an artist, you just want to create, and anytime you get an opportunity to create something, it’s wonderful. I enjoy them, you have to be a little crazy to like it, but when you’re out there and the adrenaline is going and it’s a battle, two guys battling, you have to be a little crazy.”
Right now, Ricochet is forming a tag team with former WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman on Smackdown Live, and is expected to be involved in the 2023 Royal Rumble match later this month.
