Kurt Angle believes Ricochet is underrated and could do more for WWE.
2023 has been one of the stronger years in the WWE career of Ricochet who has found himself in a number of eye-catching positions. The star went viral with Logan Paul following their spot at the Royal Rumble, while the pair later met in the ring at SummerSlam. The high-flyer also impressed at Money In The Bank, again in a spot involving Paul.
Despite this, Ricochet hasn’t yet progressed beyond the mid-card, although he remains a regular on Raw, recently getting the better of Shinsuke Nakamura.
The star also appears to have a number of big-name supporters, including Kurt Angle. During an appearance on the Grue Rume Show, Angle tipped his hat to AEW’s Kenny Omega, before naming Ricochet as one of the most underrated talents in WWE.
“I like watching Kenny Omega wrestle for AEW. He’s a great wrestler. A great athlete. I love the guys, wrestlers like Ricochet in WWE. I think he’s really underrated. I think a guy like that can be a huge main eventer for the company and draw a lot of money for them. The matches that he has are just incredible.”
Interestingly, Kurt Angle has also mentioned recently that he doesn’t believe WWE & AEW have the talent that was present in the Attitude Era.
Kurt Angle Had High Praise For Gable Steveson
Speaking elsewhere, Kurt Angle also took time to praise Gable Steveson after the star was heavily criticised following his in-ring debut. Angle talked up Steveson’s athletic ability but emphasised that it’s now up to him to link everything together and become a star in WWE.
