WWE has attempted to push Ricochet in the past, only for the material and interactions to flop, leaving him mostly with only the flips and feats in the ring as things capable of getting him over with fans.
Ricochet appears to have it all as perhaps the most captivating high-flyer since Rey Mysterio, plus he's got the look, etc. But the character work and feuds are just never there.
Hence, exiting the latest Royal Rumble in a matter of minutes, doing the same in the King Of The Ring tournament, taking multiple losses on Raw and otherwise being relegated to a gimmick WWE Speed program reserved for a social media company.
It's a shame, too, because one could easily see Ricochet with a proper manager who combines with his in-ring ability to become huge with fans and a main-event threat, but the powers in charge of such decisions seem to ignore that angle.
