Ricochet and AJ Styles have faced off in the main event of RAW for the past two weeks. Styles defeated Ricochet last week in a solid match. Ricochet defeated Styles this week, which lead to ‘The Club’ reforming.
We have a rumor to pass your way about Ricochet’s future.
According to Dave Meltzer on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio (subscribe here), WWE is concerned that they are losing the teenager demographic in their viewership.
A part of the recent push for Ricochet apparently has to do with an attempt to help boost this teenager demographic.
Paul Heyman is reportedly very high on Ricochet and WWE feels like he could be someone who appeals to that demographic. With AEW’s weekly show coming soon, the goal is to win back teenagers before they jump ship to the new promotion. The hope is that pushing Ricochet will help bring in new fans and keep others from leaving.
