Ricochet's fortunes haven't improved since the depressing pic seen above was snapped in February 2020.

He's the new Brian Kendrick. As in, a worker with immense talent (who can do things nobody else thinks of) that just cannot get ahead in WWE. Rico has been pigeonholed as a high-flyer who lacks personality or mic skills, and that's not a great place to be when Vinnie Mac is your boss.

After being used as a sacrificial lamb for Brock Lesnar at Super ShowDown, Ricochet dropped into a going-nowhere tag with Cedric Alexander. Then, WWE scrapped that so Alexander could join the dynamic Hurt Business faction. His heel turn has made Ricochet even less of a priority to creative.

This is a worker who lit up the world in matches against Will Ospreay in 2016-2017, and one who looked like a real find for WWE when they signed him the following year. P*ssing away the prime years of his career in nothing matches on Raw cannot be satisfying.
