While most were excited to see NXT talents Ricochet, Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, and Aleister Black on WWE Raw last night, TJP took to social media to vent his frustrations with a certain debut and his position in the company.
The former Cruiserweight Champion took to Twitter following the debut of Ricochet, claiming he "wrote" the segment, seemingly for himself and not Ricochet. Ricochet ended up making his debut by saving Finn Balor from a two-on-one attack at the hands of Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush.
Oh cool I think I wrote this https://t.co/TyNlPOkrFj

I wish I was kidding...but literally I wrote that. Be proactive I guess...----

I mean exactly that. And ppl think I’m kidding when I say I’m trying but it’s not up to me. https://t.co/9tVXY84vLW

I thought someone else turning my homework in with their name on it ended after high school...

TJP switched from the high school analogy to a baseball analogy, claiming WWE won't let him off the bench and put a pinch-hitter in his place.
I’m doing my best. I promise you, I am. But they won’t let me off the bench, and they just gave the bat I carved myself to someone else for their at-bat. If I ever get to the plate, I promise you I’m swinging for the sun and 3 stars ---- https://t.co/uiIJzzRkB9

Probably nothing. The batting order is what it is. No matter how much time I spend in the batting cage or how many positions I can play. Sorry, I really wish I could will it into existence. https://t.co/1vRRlCSxhD

No. I won’t. That was my best shot. The rest is out of my hands.

Despite appearing mad online, TJP is actually happy for Ricochet and won't be leaving WWE for AEW.
Despite all that, I’m really happy for @KingRicochet because he’s really awesome and deserves a shot.

I’m ecstatic for Trev, he’s a great dude.

If it were up to me, literally never. I’m doing everything I possibly can to succeed here on the team I always wanted to play for, both on and off camera. https://t.co/I9aQ3eidv0

TJP has stayed in the headlines this week as he recently wondered if Finn Balor would have gotten a shot in Japan, had he stayed over there. You can view his full comments here.
