The smack of flesh meeting flesh echoed through the Alamodome in Texas as Ricochet and Logan Paul clashed mid-springboard. On commentary, Michael Cole lost his mind, and Pat McAfee blurted out: "What just happened?!" Then, they fell silent and let the live crowd take it from there. Texas obliged with a standing ovation.

Timing is everything.

Rico and Paul showed serious rhythm to collide the way they did in midair. Even one split-second difference between them could've ruined the spot or ended in disaster, but they met like two arrows right over the centre of the ring. It was stunning to see, and there may never be another moment quite like it.

Keep an eye on Ricochet's work in AEW to see if he copies his own homework someday. It wouldn't be outlandish for Logan to try this bit with someone else on WWE's side either. It felt like both guys were flying through the air forever before meeting with a thump!
