Ricochet says he blames himself for how WWE run ended

Ricochet has opened up about his run in WWE.

Talking to The Ringer Wrestling Show, he said that while he wouldn’t use the word “frustrated” with his WWE run, he does realize what he was doing wasn’t of substance.

You can place the blame anywhere, but I just blame myself…that’s the only person I can blame because that’s all you can do. Obviously I didn’t do something, I don’t know what it was. For me, again, frustrating is maybe not the word, because again my last couple of years I met my future wife there, I made mad connections, the locker room was always awesome. As far as creatively, I mean yeah, there would have been more I’d like to do. Just again, mostly for the fans that want to see me do stuff, not even for me. It’s more frustrating for me to see the fans want me to go out there and actually do something of some substance. I was out there a lot, I was on television a lot, I was used a lot. But the quality of what I was doing specifically wasn’t there. There was a lot of quantity of Ricochet, but the quality of what he was getting just wasn’t what I wanted.

Ricochet, however, says he blames himself for the way his WWE run ended.

That’s okay, that’s how it falls. I can only blame myself. I can’t blame anybody else, I just can’t. But it wasn’t frustrating because I had a lot of good times there still. But was there more of what I wanted to do? Absolutely. But man, I can’t say it was frustrating because I still had a good time.

After being written out of WWE earlier this summer by being put through a windshield by Bron Breakker, he made his AEW debut at All In last month, participating in the Casino Gauntlet battle royal. He went on to defeat Kyle Fletcher on the following episode of AEW Dynamite.
