Ricochet has been touted as a potential addition to WWE's burgeoning cruiserweight ranks for some time - calls that grew to fever pitch last year when the 28-year-old shared one of the most talked about indie matches in a generation alongside fellow high-flyer Will Ospreay, which even caught the attention of the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

At the moment, though, Ricochet is busy enjoying himself in Japan's NJPW, where up until recently, he was holder of the six-man tag straps alongside partners Hiroshi Tanahashi and Ryusuke Taguchi. With stints in Mexico (with Lucha Underground) and the States (PWG and Dragon Gate) also under his belt, the Kentucky-native seems under no hurry to settle down - and that's great news for anyone looking forward to seeing his eclectic style in the flesh.
