WWE: Ricochet on His U.S. Title Win, Shinsuke Nakamura on His WWE Career, Writer Departure

Ricochet Comments on Winning the United States Championship at WWE Stomping Grounds

Ricochet reflected on Twitter about winning the United States Championship at this past Sunday’s WWE Stomping Grounds event.

I don’t do it for the “⭐️ Ratings.”

I don’t do it for the 💰.

I do it because I love it.

Today I woke up tired. Today I woke up with a stiff neck. Today I woke up with a sore back. But I’d do it all over, it’s all worth it. Because today, I woke up as #UnitedStatesChampion.👑 pic.twitter.com/eEtRjcKrSy

Shinsuke Nakamura on His WWE Career and Teaming Up with Rusev

Japanese television sports network J Sports held a recent interview with Shinsuke Nakamura and some of the topics discussed included the direction of his career in WWE and his thoughts on teaming up with Rusev.

“Since I became a professional wrestler when I was 22 years old, I was able to come here without looking back. In 2015, there was a feeling that I had done [everything] in the Japanese ring, and I still wanted to keep trying. As the next step, we aim to raise one step further, and take one step to the area we have not touched before. The place for the challenge was WWE. Even now, the situation changes daily, and my position is up and down everyday, and I am living with it.”

“I have no complaints about the tag [team] with Rusev. Even in singles, we [had] five battles to know each other’s goodness, and because we are both foreigners in the U.S., we also have sympathy. I do not like Rusev as much as I like, so it may be that each other’s schedule doesn’t match. There is still a place to explore. It is said that both Rusev and I are better at singles, but it is not bad as we see different scenes by assembling tags.”
