The Rock Compliments Ricochet And Calls Him A Leader

The Rock says Ricochet is a future champion. 

On Friday, The Rock responded to a tweet he was tagged in by a WWE fan. He said Ricochet performed a Rock Bottom with a flip involved. The Rock's response included some complimentary remarks about one of NXT's newest stars.

Ricochet responded to The Rock's with appreciation and referenced another move he does as a homage to the People's Elbow where he does a standing moonsault instead of an elbow. 

Yesterday, WWE published an interview with Ricochet where he cited The Rock as one of his influences in wrestling.
