WWE wrestlers rarely make WCW references on TV these days. The company has been gone for 20 years now, so it's a bit old hat to the younger audience. That didn't stop Ricochet from name-dropping Ernest 'The Cat' Miller during a backstage promo with Sarah Schreiber.

Rico said he kinda' felt like Miller when he dressed up in Sheamus' hat and overcoat. He then feigned an Irish accent and said he might feel like a pint after his match. Please don't say this is a hint that Ricochet is about to become 'Rick O'Shea'.

Sheamus even emphasised that name during his own promo. Yikes.
