"Harley Race would never be seen in trunks like that" - Michael Cole

"We call Ricochet our resident superhero" - Renee Young

"If you had abs like that why would you ever cover them?!" - Corey Graves

'The One and Only' divided the commentary team up with the remarkable one-piece he debuted at SummerSlam, but he unified the WWE/Comics crossover crowd with this loyal black and blue tribute to DC star Nightwing. In the series, Nightwing is Robin after he’s graduated from Batman’s sidekick to go and become his own hero. This felt in keeping with Ricochet's own story against AJ Styles despite the former United States Champion's disappointing defeat.
