Karrion Kross speaks highly of Ricochet.
Kross and Ricochet are both members of the SmackDown roster. The high-flying star has had a successful 2023 so far, as he formed a tag team with Braun Strowman and won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship Contender’s Tournament. The duo lost to the champions, The Usos, on the February 10 episode of WWE SmackDown. On the same show, Kross came up on the losing side of a four-way match that also included Rey Mysterio, Santos Escobar, and Madcap Moss.
Speaking with Josh Martinez on Superstar Crossover, Kross was asked to name the most underrated superstar on the planet, and he pointed to Ricochet. He described how the former WWE Intercontinental Champion can garner reactions from any audience, even if his match is cold from a storyline perspective. Kross stated that, no matter who Ricochet is matched up against, fans will get their money’s worth.
“I hope people don’t take this the wrong way, but Ricochet. I think Ricochet is the most underrated, and the reason being is because that is a guy who you can put in the ring on a cold match with no story, and he will be able to get reactions out of any audience that he is working in front of. There are certain people that lean more towards storytelling, and there are certain people that lean more towards high spots. It just depends on what audience you’re working in front of.
“Some audiences prefer more storytelling, and other audiences are showing up for the high spots. They wanna see hybrid lucha libre, which is wonderful. We have a very diverse audience, and each city is different. I’m telling you, if you put Ricochet in the ring with anybody, they’re gonna their money’s worth. With all due to respect to everybody on the roster, everyone gives 110%. I just think that he hits different.”
