Remember when Aleister Black & Ricochet were called up to the main roster and put into a makeshift tag team that immediately gelled… and then quickly faded away?

It’s doubtful we’ll see a revisiting of that duo now that both are on Raw, but both men did get convincing singles victories Monday night against Eric Young and Shelton Benjamin, respectively. The matches weren’t anything to run out and see – just an opportunity for Black and Ricochet to showcase their skills.

Now that the rosters are set, hopefully these two superstars will get more than just the occasional squash match. Both deserve to be in some kind of storyline or chase for a title. Fans respond well to them, and they could be real impact players for WWE if given the chance.
