After becoming surprise replacements for Drew McIntyre and Sheamus on the final episode of SmackDown before the Royal Rumble, Ricochet and Braun Strowman had their toughest challenge as a tag team yet when, in the finals of the SmackDown Tag Team Tournament, they had to take on Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci of Imperium with […]

Though his insertion into the Royal Rumble at spot 29 didn’t provide the same excitement, as, say, the debut of “Switchblade” Jay White – which curiously didn’t happen but would have been wild – fans still popped pretty darn hard when Logan Paul, arguably WWE’s Rookie of the Year, returned to the ring, eliminated Seth […]

If there’s one member of the RAW roster who never seems to have an issue finding his words, it’s former WWE Champion Seth Rollins. A performer with a literal call-and-response theme, Rollins likes to talk to the crowd, talk to his in-ring foes, and talk on the mic to backstage interviewers too, discussing his goals, […]

The 2023 WWE Royal Rumble had a number of highlight moments. Logan Paul was right at the center of one of the most electrifying. After a verbal back-and-forth with Ricochet from opposite sides of the ring, the two dove at each other from the top rope and collided midair right at the center of the […]

After suffering a series of injuries in his main event match against Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, Logan Paul has officially returned to the WWE Universe just in time for WrestleMania 39, entering the Royal Rumble at spot 29 just before Cody Rhodes rounded out the event at spot 30. While some […]

Ricochet is one of the most talkative wrestlers on the WWE roster. Never one to turn down an interview request, the high-flying former Prince Puma seemingly hangs out after SmackDown each week, looking for someone like Megan Morant or Cathy Kelley to ask him questions and is surprisingly forthcoming about pretty much anything, from his […]

Ricochet has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s elevation to the Chief Creative Officer of WWE. Now sure, technically, King Ric won the Intercontinental Championship under Vince McMahon and held the belt from March through June, but he only had five title defenses and none of which came on a […]

The final SmackDown of 2022 was an interesting ordeal for the man known to the WWE Universe as Ricochet. He helped his friend Braun Strowman – who really should form an odd-couple tag team – get in on some fun with his fellow members of the men’s locker room and was then attacked by Top […]

Kurt Angle is a wrestling legend for more reasons than one; he’s an Olympic gold medalist, a WWE Hall of Famer, and a nine-time champion in TNA/Impact Wrestling with more than 1,500 matches to his name. But could Angle have added the phrase “AEW star” to that list of accolades? Once upon a time, that […]

There was a time when a tag team of Braun Strowman and Richochet felt like some sort of cruel joke from Paul “Triple H” Levesque and the crew in creative. While the duo had shared the ring together before, working eight matches together including two Royal Rumbles before the “Monster of all Monsters” was fired, […]

One weekend out of the year, WWE takes the show on the road to pay tribute to the troops at a show conveniently named Tribute to the Troops. The show, a mixture of matches and outside-of-the-ring activities, featured three matches this year and was headlined by a trios match between Imperium and the team of […]

Ricochet is having himself a moment in the WWE Universe. Though he doesn’t technically become a free agent until 2024, at least according to Sportskeeda, Ricochet is being booked like Paul “Triple H” Levesque is about to lose him to Tony Khan and AEW, elevating the former house show standout to the mid-card championship for […]

Though GUNTHER hasn’t technically defended his Intercontinental Championship in over a month on WWE television, with his last broadcasted bout coming against Rey Mysterio on the final SmackDown before Halloween, the leader of Imperium won’t have to wait too long to defend his strap, as he’ll be wrestling none other than Ricochet in the not-too-distant […]

Though the WWE Universe is still reeling from the fallout of Survivor Series WarGames, with big-time wins, big-time betrayals, and one of the most controversial title changes in recent memory, there’s another big-time bout that’s still on the WWE calendar that could play a big role in who ends up holding the Intercontinental Championship when […]

For a time, Ricochet was one of the best-kept secrets in WWE. While he would appear on television first on RAW and then on SmackDown following his elevation from NXT, Ricochet was a much more impressive feature of the house show circuit, where the well-traveled veteran performer would routinely put on incredible matches against the […]

After spending basically his entire WWE career as the heavily-scripted mouthpiece for Vince McMahon, Michael Cole has been freed up to actually commentate matches and express his personality on the mic for the first time since, well, probably 1999, when he was chosen to be the play-by-play commentator for SmackDown. The fans have finally turned […]

After initially being held off of the Worlds Collide card, NXT’s North American Champion, Carmelo Hayes, took it personally. He logged onto social media to air out his grievances, made a video to stake his claim, and ultimately made his way to the ring at the end of NXT’s go-home show to shoot his shot […]

Since their match on the first Smackdown of the month of August, Ricochet and Happy Corbin have wrestled on five occasions, four in singles competition and once in the Intercontinental Title Number One Contendership Fatal Five Way. Of those matches, Ricochet has won four of them, and Corbin has won none, with his efforts becoming […]

Gunther and Ricochet are like WWE‘s answer to oil and vinegar; they don’t mix but goodness, when they are together they can certainly elevate an evening. That’s right, after snatching away the Intercontinental Title away from Ricochet in a very good SmackDown television match, Gunther and his accomplice, Ludwig, once again marched down to the […]

When Walter changed his name to Gunther on an episode of NXT 2.0 back in January, it left many a fan confused about his future in WWE. Fast forward to June of 2022, and Gunther is the new WWE Intercontinental Championship, having dethroned Ricochet after a 99-day run. In hindsight, that decision worked out pretty […]

Call of Duty: Warzone is getting a new anti-cheat system called Ricochet. The new anti-cheat system provides kernel-level security which grants the program permission to halt other cheating and hacking PC programs. The question now is, will Ricochet be an effective solution to Warzone’s hacker and cheater problems?  Warzone’s popularity constantly grows each passing day […]
