Ricochet was one of the Superstars in the Fatal 4-way where WWE's 'resident Superhero' was pinned by Rey Mysterio that earned the latter a much-deserved shot at the title.

It would be fair for him to demand a shot at the title since this entire stipulation was his idea. Even if Ricochet fails in defeating Mysterio, it would still work wonders in terms of adding more credibility to his push towards the top of the roster.

We know that Ricochet is a promising Superstar and has already earned the trust of WWE creative. He has been involved in important storylines and is often portrayed as the perfect babyface.

Challenging Mysterio for the title would be the first opportunity for Ricochet to prove to the WWE Universe that he is indeed Championship material. Needless to say, the rivalry between these two Superstars is bound to be iconic, if and when it transpires.
