At the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event, Ricochet and Logan Paul were featured in the men’s Rumble match. During the bout, there was a spot where the two men leapt across the ring at each other.
Speaking during a recent interview with Sporting News’ Andrea Hale, Ricochet opined on the spot and how it came about.
You can check out some highlights from the match interview below:
On his spot with Logan Paul at the Royal Rumble: “Not that I knew anything was going to happen or whatever, but when we collided, and we come down, and are sitting there in pain, you can hear like a rumbling. It felt like it started, and then it grew. Hearing that, it’s like, ‘Okay, I do think there’s something here between us,’ but other than that, I didn’t have any other thoughts other than there is obviously something some sort of chemistry between he and I. So, in that moment, I didn’t necessarily think, ‘Oh, there’s going to be stuff,’ but I did think there’s something here, for sure.”
Ask how the Royal Rumble spot came together, Ricochet credited Jamie Noble and Shane “Hurricane” Helms specifically as well as the additional “crazy minds” behind the scenes that are always thinking of how to get the audience off of their feet.
On how the Royal Rumble spot came together: “I mean, you just got a couple of crazy people thinking of crazy stuff, trying to get everybody off their feet. You got guys in the back like Hurricane and Jamie Noble and all these creative minds, you know what I mean? They’re just, especially with me, everybody always is like, ‘Oh, I had an idea. I thought maybe Ricochet could do it.’ They’re like, ‘I can’t do it, but maybe Ricochet can.’ Usually, if I do something, it’s because I got an idea from somebody else. Usually, yeah, everyone’s ideas are for me. Because they say, ‘Well, I can’t do it, but I thought maybe you could.’”
