Ricochet has made history.
On the May 3 episode of WWE Speed, Ricochet faced Johnny Gargano in the finals of the WWE Speed Championship Tournament. They battled back and forth in a hard-fought match. Gargano evaded a 630 Splash and rocked Ricochet with a superkick. In the end, Ricochet hit a Recoil and clinched the win with a Lethal Injection.
IT'S TIME!
