Unless you've been living under a rock, the name Ricochet will mean something to you. The guy had arguably the most controversial match of 2016 against Will Ospreay. Whether people believe the pair revolutionised pro wrestling or made a mockery of psychology and selling, they had the entire industry talking about them.

Seeking something a little different, Ricochet agreed to go under a mask for his matches in Lucha Underground. Cast as Prince Puma, he was the very first Lucha Underground Champion. Holding the title for 196 days during his first reign, Puma eventually lost the strap to Mil Muertes. In season three of Lucha Underground, Prince Puma also had a casket match with Muertes.

Those who only know him as Ricochet would be doing themselves a favour by checking out Prince Puma. It's unbelievable that WWE haven't come calling, certainly without the mask. That said, under the mask of Puma, the Prince could do wonderful things to reignite the Cruiserweight division.

Surely, it's only a matter of time before the McMahon family are knocking on his door.
