10 WWE Superstars That Should NEVER Turn Heel

9. Ricochet

WWE threatened to undermine months of 'real-life Superhero' promotional muscle behind Ricochet when they gave him promo time ahead of a Number One contenders match with Bobby Lashley and Seth Rollins.

The gist, laughable as it was, was that he was physically and figuratively smaller than both respectively. The delivery of the message wasn't the most exciting, but then it's not his verbals people talk about when they consider him the most exciting wrestler in the world. It never has been.

Ricochet broke the entire internet with Will Ospreay in 2016, then smashed the f*ck out of Twitter at least with a wordless dive in response to a Velveteen Dream promo during his NXT days. The man is glorious asterisk against the word "impossible" in wrestling. He's one of a select few that can do things only others in the said select few can do, and when WWE allow him to share those things, he is the most vital performer on the show.

Villany will only further rob of him of traits WWE has already inadvertently tried to do away with.
