Since his loss to Paul at SummerSlam, Ricochet has wrestled exactly two matches on “Raw,” The one Monday night against Shinsuke Nakamura was the first singles match for Ricochet on “Raw” since SummerSlam.

As it always is in WWE, it’s about more than just matches. After all, Ricochet didn’t wrestle a single match on TV between Money in the Bank and SummerSlam and he was still heavily featured in segments building toward his match against Paul.

However, in the aftermath of SummerSlam, Ricochet has virtually disappeared from “Raw.” He was missing entirely from the August 14 and August 21 episodes. He finally reappeared on last week’s episode…for a total of eight seconds. Trust me. I keep track of this stuff.

The point I’m making – and this will be hard to swallow for some of you – is that Ricochet gained nothing from his high-profile storyline with Paul and their match at SummerSlam. He was merely a guy who was picked to have that match against Paul, and whether it’s a result of his performance leading up to that match or not, he’s right back where he was before Money in the Bank.
