Popular ex-WWE name debuts, Steals top star's spokesperson - 4 potential managers for Ricochet in AEW
Ricochet has been showing his worth as one of the most talented stars on the AEW roster. Ever since his debut, the beloved highflyer has showcased his abilities in each of his matches for the promotion.
The former WWE star is now gaining steam as a potential candidate to win the Continental Classic. His performances have attracted the attention of many fans and even some potential managers who want to take him under his wing.
He looks to be stuck in the mid-card as of now, but perhaps aligning himself with a new manager could help him reach new heights. We're here to look at those picks that can turn out to be potential managers for Ricochet in AEW.
4. Samantha Irvin could debut in AEW to manage her partner
Samantha Irvin has gained huge popularity within the professional wrestling circle. The former WWE announcer is Ricochet's fiancee and can follow him into AEW.
Even though Ricochet has denied that she won't be coming over to AEW, nothing is ever set in stone in professional wrestling. Perhaps an offer to Samantha Irvin to be her partner's manager rather than being a simple ring announcer could attract her attention.
This partnership would also do wonders for Ricochet's standing in the company as fans would tune in to see her use her mic skills to promote him.
3. Ricochet could accept MVP's offer to join The Hurt Syndicate
MVP has been eyeing Ricochet as a potential member to join in The Hurt Syndicate ever since he made his debut at All In. If MVP is successful in wearing him down to his offer, it could be a huge chance to grow his popularity as part of the faction.
It could also be an amazing opportunity to explore his darker side after having him turn heel once he accepts the offer to join The Hurt Syndicate. Ricochet has expressed his feelings about turning heel in the past so he can win titles.
With Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley, and MVP by his side, it would more or less put him in a guaranteed spot to win a title in AEW.
2. Prince Nana could convince him to join the Mogul Embassy
If Swerve Strickland's success is anything to go by then it's evident that Prince Nana knows how to manage his stars. Being a part of the popular Mogul Embassy could do amazing things for his image, with Prince Nana being the perfect mouthpiece for the highflyer.
It would also be a great subversion of expectations if Ricochet turns down MVP's offer and affiliates himself with the Mogul Embassy instead. It would then be hugely entertaining to watch Prince Nana engage in a war or words with MVP as payback for interrupting him amid Swerve's health update at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam.
1. Stokely Hathaway could introduce a charismatic element to his character
Now, seeing Stokely Hathaway paired up with Ricochet would be wildly entertaining. Taking up Stokely as a manager would bring another layer of character to Ricochet, something that he needs at the moment.
A comedic element would also bring more charisma to Ricochet when he's not performing in the ring. Stokely Hathaway's scheming antics from his time in The Firm could also help Ricochet achieve further success.
