WWE Royal Rumble 2023: Predicting All 30 Entrants

9. Ricochet - #22

Ricochet WWE SmackDown World Cup

Ricochet is still a deeply unlikeable stand up comic-adjacent d*ckweed in backstage segments.

He's about as funny as Triple H was in the 2000s, and Triple H only differed from the bubonic plague in that the plague at its worst only lasted seven years. Still, it's all an improvement under Triple H because Ricochet actually wrestles in high-profile TV attractions, and those matches peak extraordinarily high. He's a good bet to last a wee while and essentially perform the role of Jungle Boy with an insane high-risk approach to get himself over...

...as a wrestler, not a less offensive but equally unfunny Brendan Schaub.
