Melo is unquestionably a more compelling and complete TV performer/character than Ricochet. We’ve already seen the best it’s ever gonna get from Ricochet in AEW
Bron has fans barking in every city and had the crowd on their feet just from going toe to toe with Jacob Fatu. He has zero charisma questions.
Compelling??? Complete??? Are we talking about the same Carmelo Hayes? He is a bell to bell wrestler that doesn’t have the time in the ring to show his strength. We saw him head to head with LA Knight on the mic and he shrunk. He’s further away from the best on the mic than he is the best in the ring on SD. He was good in nxt in those barber shop segments playing off Trick but solo on his own two live, he doesn’t have it there. He’s not getting past where Ricochet got in WWE until he does.
If you look around at the ages in WWE, Bron doesn’t have much competition for his coming top spot so we’ll see how he is as the A side.
Ricochet is someplace where his strengths are valued and great performances in the ring pushes your career forward, not ignored (Montez Ford in the chamber). If he has the matches we expect against Takeshyta and Sabre it’s just going to get better for Ricochet post WWE. He gets reactions now above and beyond he got in WWE and he’s not scripted which was his real problem. Samantha WILL join him in AEW as his manager and there’s no harm in that
