10 Wrestling Characters Which Just Aren’t Working Right Now

7. Ricochet

Current Character: Hopeful Loser

Did anyone ever really think Ricochet was going to pull off the shock of the decade and beat WWE Champion Brock Lesnar on the road to WrestleMania 36?

Had it been the same high flying sensation we'd seen on NXT, besting Adam Cole and The Velveteen Dream, then perhaps we would have been more inclined to dream. Yet, this version of Ricochet was nothing more than a whiny 'Real-Life Superhero' who regularly couldn't get the job done on the big occasion.

WWE have tried to find a spot for him right now as one half of the '2 Fly Crew' with Cedric Alexander but it still feels as though both of the gifted performers are being underutilised on Raw.

Future Character: King Of The Skies

By simply letting Ricochet spread his wings and actually win matches using his truly unique skill set, WWE could have a bonafide star on their hands.

It'd be incredibly difficult to boo a crowd pleasing performer like the former U.S. Champion, but if Ricochet started to develop a chip on his shoulder and began to boast about his unmatched high flying prowess the 'King of the Skies' could become a must-watch pr*ck in no time.
