5 Explanations for why Ricochet is in Money in the Bank ladder match
Ricochet has no doubt impressed each and every fan on the main roster since moving up to RAW a couple of months ago. The high flying superstar's breathtaking aerial offences are such incredible and beautiful to watch, that he's so quickly become one of the biggest fan-favourite babyfaces on the red brand.
The former NXT North American Champion has recently been competing as a tag team alongside the former NXT Champion, Aleister Black. These two were quite impressive as a tag team for sure, even winning the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament this year in NXT. They also challenged the SmackDown Tag Team Champions at WrestleMania but couldn't really manage to win the tag belts.
At Superstar Shake-up, Aleister Black got moved to SmackDown, and as a result of that, these two will again compete as a singles competitor going forward.
This week on RAW, The Goddess, Alexa Bliss announced the 4 participants for the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match. These 4 participants were -
- The Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman
- The Scottish Psychopath, Drew McIntyre
- The former general manager of RAW, Baron Corbin
- The one and only, Ricochet
These 4 would now represent RAW at the annual Money in the Bank ladder match scheduled to take place on May 19th, at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut.
While the other 3 superstars were clear choices to represent RAW at MITB, Ricochet's inclusion was a nice little surprise for the fans.
In this article, let's take a look at 5 Reasons why Ricochet is in the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match this year.
#5 He's a fan-favorite
WWE, as of late, has surprisingly started listening to fans as was clearly visible with 3 top babyfaces winning the top titles of RAW and SmackDown at WrestleMania 35.
Among all the 4 announced competitors for MITB on RAW, Ricochet is undoubtedly the biggest fan-favourite among them all. One could understand this by the pop that he got when Alexa Bliss announced his name this week on RAW.
Will Ricochet shock everyone by actually winning the match? We'll have to wait and see.
