10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Ricochet

A lot of wrestlers tend to fall in love with their fellow professionals. It's probably because they're the only people who truly understand the simple pleasure of being wantonly thrown around a thinly-padded ring for the enjoyment of strangers.

And so too is that the case for Ricochet, who is currently in a relationship with Tessa Blanchard (we know this because she publicly congratulated him on his signing for WWE after the news broke last week).

Despite only being 22, she's already performed for a whole host of promotions, including her boyfriend's new stomping ground. In fact, she appeared in a WWE ring as recently as a few months ago, getting knocked out of the Mae Young Classic in the first round.

The significance of Blanchard's surname won't be lost on wrestling historians either. Her dad is NWA legend Tully Blanchard and her granddad Joe Blanchard, a star of the squared circle back when it was filmed in black and white.
