Ricochet Sets WWE Milestone With Intercontinental Championship Victory

WWE

Ricochet captured his first WWE Intercontinental Championship on last night’s (March 4) episode of SmackDown, when he dethroned Sami Zayn.

Ricochet’s championship victory has earned him an impressive milestone in WWE, as he becomes the first person to capture the NXT North American, United States and Intercontinental Championships.

Ricochet spoke to WWE after his victory about what the win means to him, and how he hopes to improve the stock of the Intercontinental Championship.

He said:

“The Intercontinental and United States Championships were both two of my favorite championships growing up just because the people that were in those divisions making those championships mean just as much as the World Heavyweight Championship, you know? Now, the Universal Championship. You know, I want to be that guy, I want to be that type of professional wrestler to make the Intercontinental Championship mean just as much as being the Universal Champion, as much as being the WWE Heavyweight Champion. I want this title to be — because it’s important to me, I want it to be important for everyone.”
