Before reaching WWE, Ricochet went under the 'King' moniker and was lovingly called the 'King Of Flight' by many fans who loved his work on the indy scene. He even went so far as to wear a crown to the ring. No, it wasn't the same sh*tty one WWE hand out to KOTR winners. He actually spent some cash on the thing.

Maybe they'll ask him to bring it to TV over the next few weeks so he can resume his old gimmick.

Ricochet has to be considered a firm favourite to become the new King of WWE. Creative there will love the idea of having Michael Cole say, "Here comes the King Of Flight" whenever he makes his entrance, and the high-flyer is well-liked internally anyway. His push looks set to continue.
