Former WWE Superstar EC3 opened up on Ricochet being a victim of WWE's backstage issues
EC3 recently discussed the former Intercontinental Champion's becoming a victim of the company's backstage issues. He also commented on why Ricochet does not get a lot of attention.
During a conversation on Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Outlaws, the former IMPACT World Champion stated that no superstar can stand out and be unique.
"Unfortunately, he could be the attraction, and he should be an attraction, in a sense. Just by suffering that one defeat upon return and kind of being shuffled around, it just makes him a bigger version of everybody else. And that's the problem with WWE. No one can stand above and be different," EC3 said.

The 34-year-old has previously held the United States Championship, Intercontinental Championship, and NXT North American Championship. He is currently in a pairing with Braun Strowman, as the two men lost a match for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles against The Usos on the latest episode of the blue brand.
