Ricochet was not medically cleared for last night’s RAW Reunion show in Tampa. As a result, his planned segment with the O.C and DX had to be changed.

According to a report from Wrestling Observer Radio, Ricochet was originally supposed to join DX and the Outsiders from fending off AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson. An elbow infection would keep him from being medically cleared, however, and Seth Rollins was chosen to replace him in the segment.

“Ricochet has an elbow infection,” said Dave Meltzer. “So, the whole spot that Seth did with AJ Styles that was all Ricochet.”

“I know that the idea for the show, one of the big ideas on the show was that Ricochet gets the big rub at the end from DX where they endorse him and they say he’s going to be the next big thing and that’s what that segment was supposed to be,” Meltzer continued.

“Ricochet was not cleared to do anything so Seth Rollins took his place.”

He was cleared as recently as this weekend, however. Ricochet performed on WWE live events in New Jersey and Orlando this Saturday and Sunday. He defeated Cesaro in a single’s match and dropped a triple threat US title match to AJ Styles with Cesaro the other competitor.
