Friday 20 April 2018 14:07, UK
The Rock has identified recently-recruited high-flyer Ricochet as a potential future WWE champion.
Ricochet made his debut at NXT's TakeOver event in New Orleans, dazzling the Smoothie Center fans with his rapid-fire and ultra-smooth ring style in a six-way ladder match for the developmental brand's North American title.
He was signed by WWE after several impressive years on the independent circuit, with Triple H believed to be a driving force in his recruitment.
The 29-year-old Ricochet - whose real name is Trevor Mann - has followed that endorsement up with another show of faith from a huge name in the business, with none other than Dwayne Johnson himself praising his talents.
"He's the man!" Rock wrote on Twitter. "Love the stuff King is doing and will no doubt be the leader in ushering in a new era of our wrestling business. Future champ."
