Richochet is one of the biggest names in wrestling that has never stepped inside of a WWE ring. He was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated for their ‘Five Questions’ section. He reflected on his past year in wrestling and discusses his goals for 2017.
Ricochet talks joining WWE and wanting to be Intercontinental Champion:
“I would love to be Intercontinental champion in 2017. That would be exceeding my goal. I’ve met Triple H a couple of times, and he and William Regal are awesome guys. I would love to be with NXT. I feel like the Performance Center has a bunch of tools that I could benefit from – all the classes they have available could make me better. I don’t have a contract at the moment, but I want to focus on New Japan. It’s a super cool place, it’s gaining steam, especially with AJ and Nakamura coming from there to WWE. And I really want that junior heavyweight belt”
Not wanting to join the Cruiserweight division:
“The guys on the 205 Live cruiserweight show are awesome – my boy Swann is killing it. But that’s not the route I want. I want to go the Fergal Devitt route. Seth Rollins. Kevin Owens. That’s the route I want to take. I want to work my way up from NXT champion to U.S. or Intercontinental champion. I have goals, and I’m not willing to settle. This is nothing against the cruiserweights on 205, but it’s just not for me”
