Ricochet says many creative minds within WWE come up with ideas for spots for him because they thought of something cool that he might be able to pull off.
Ricochet is known for his athleticism and ability to pull off incredible spots during his matches easily. While he can pull off these superheroic feats, Ricochet says he often gets ideas from those around him and WWE.
Speaking with Andreas Hale of Sporting News, "The One and Only" reflected on his viral spot with Logan Paul in the 2023 Royal Rumble match and how he comes up with these unique moments.
"Not that I knew anything was going to happen or whatever, but when we collided, and we come down, and are sitting there in pain, you can hear like a rumbling," Ricochet recalled. "It felt like it started, and then it grew. Hearing that, it's like, 'Okay, I do think there's something here between us,' but other than that, I didn't have any other thoughts other than there is obviously something some sort of chemistry between he and I. So, in that moment, I didn't necessarily think, 'Oh, there's going to be stuff,' but I did think there's something here, for sure."
Ask how the Royal Rumble spot came together, Ricochet credited Jamie Noble and Shane "Hurricane" Helms specifically as well as the additional "crazy minds" behind the scenes that are always thinking of how to get the audience off of their feet.
"I mean, you just got a couple of crazy people thinking of crazy stuff, trying to get everybody off their feet," Ricochet continued. "You got guys in the back like Hurricane and Jamie Noble and all these creative minds, you know what I mean? They're just, especially with me, everybody always is like, 'Oh, I had an idea. I thought maybe Ricochet could do it.' They're like, 'I can't do it, but maybe Ricochet can.' Usually, if I do something, it's because I got an idea from somebody else. Usually, yeah, everyone's ideas are for me. Because they say, 'Well, I can't do it, but I thought maybe you could.'"
Ricochet is hoping to have a banger of a singles match against Logan Paul at SummerSlam. The match was referred to by Logan recently as having the potential to be "the most viral match" ever.
