The Rock praises Ricochet as the future of WWE
Although now focused on his acting career, The Rock takes the time to watch the promises of WWE. And when asked by a writer from USA Today, the Samoan chose an NXT wrestler as the future of the company.
Responding to the question from Brian Truitt, writer for USA Today, on his Twitter, The Rock praised Ricochet, who in his last match did a variation of the 'People's Elbow'. Far from criticism, the former WWE champion applauded the NXT wrestler.
"He's the man! I love what Ricochet is doing and there's no doubt he will be the leader of a new era in professional wrestling. Future WWE champion", were the words of The Rock.
Ricochet's response was not long in coming, as he thanked The Rock's comment. "Thanks man, it really means a lot to me. Plus, I have to give a twist to the most electrifying move in sports entertainment, the 'People's Elbow'!", said the WWE wrestler through Twitter.

It's worth noting that The Rock is not the first WWE icon to praise Ricochet. In the debut of the wrestler in NXT, Triple H showered him with praise, as he also sees him as one of the top superstars in the future.
