From one would-be superhero to another - only the blue and black bodysuit Ricochet slipped his lithe self into at SummerSlam wasn't his idea.

The One and Only is pretty heroic on his own steam, but hoping to emphasise his marvellous manoeuvres just that extra bit, WWE dictated he dress like a comic crusader for his big clash against AJ Styles. Hence, he emerged decked head to toe after the fashion of Nightwing - the man Batman's Robin grew up to be.

The company are probably hoping for Ricochet to evolve in a similar fashion. If only they'd just let his wrestling do the talking - and perhaps not make silly moves like, you know, mask his incredible abs under a mound of pleather.
