Who is the best high-flyer in WWE right now? Ricochet, if you ask Ricochet.

Monday saw the Raw wrestler quote-tweet WWE's official account asking the question above, asserting his superiority:-

The former United States Champion then got into it with another Twitter user, who replied pointing out that there's more than one style of high-flying. When former NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai was brought up as part of the debate, Ricochet responded with the following, saying he can do everything Shirai can in the ring - and "probably even better":-

It's an odd assertion to make, unless we're supposed to believe that Ricochet is working here. The hat-and-coat-stealing flyer is currently working as a babyface opposite Sheamus and Raw - and tweets like this (the last one reads like a low-key burial, intentional or otherwise) don't exactly compel you to root for the guy.

Shirai is currently off WWE television after losing the NXT Women's Title to Raquel Gonzalez at TakeOver: Stand & Deliver, then partaking in a segment with Franky Monet the following week. Ricochet, meanwhile, lost to Sheamus for the second consecutive WWE show last night.
