Ricochet Recalls Being Pulled From DX Segment At Last Minute

Ricochet discusses getting to work with DX members during NXT Days

Ricochet grew up admiring D Generation X and he got to work with both Shawn Michaels and Triple H closely behind the scene in NXT. Though he missed out on a dream opportunity to work with them on air due to an elbow injury. The one and only recently made an appearance on the With Authority! podcast. He discussed things such as being part of a special class of Michaels during his NXT days and more.

Ricochet also recalled the time when he was supposed to be part of a DX segment on Raw. However, he had to be pulled from the show on the day of the event itself because of an elbow infection:

“One time I had a bursa sac in my elbow had busted and it was pretty swollen, Well then, I guess that got infected so they had to cut it open to get the infection out. It was the day of the Raw and I was supposed to do something with D-Generation X, and I was supposed to do the cross chops and say ‘we’ve got two words for you.’ It was going to be a childhood dream. And they were like, ‘no, you can’t go out.’”

Ricochet Doesn’t Blame The Medical Staff

Triple H has served as a father figure for many NXT stars

While Ricochet did not get to fulfill his childhood dream, he doesn’t blame the medical staff for it. He admitted that it was for his own good:

“It was for my own good because obviously, I could’ve gotten more infected or could’ve infected someone else. I was just like ‘no, no no!’ I was so defeated, but the WWE medical staff is A+. Everybody is there for you.”

The high-flying star signed with WWE back in January 2018. He won the NXT North American championship once before moving to the main roster in February 2019. Though many feel that his main roster run has been very lackluster.
