Ricochet, American Professional Wrestler
Trevor Mann (born October 11, 1988) is an American professional wrestler. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Ricochet. He is the current WWE Intercontinental Champion in his first reign.
Ricochet also wrestled for the Japanese Dragon Gate (DG) promotion and its American branch Dragon Gate USA (DGUSA), where he held the Open the Brave, Dream, Triangle, Twin and Freedom Gate Championships once, and also won the 2013 King of Gate. He also wrestled as Prince Puma for Lucha Underground, where he was the inaugural and first ever two-time Lucha Underground Champion. From 2010 to 2018, Mann wrestled for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), where he is a former World Champion, and a two time Battle of Los Angeles (BOLA) winner, winning the 2014 and 2017 tournaments. Mann also worked for the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania–based Chikara promotion, working under a mask as Helios.
After signing with WWE in 2018, Ricochet beat Fabian Aichner in his debut match for NXT and later competed at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans for the NXT North American Championship, a title he would eventually win four months later at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn IV. He lost the title to Johnny Gargano at NXT TakeOver: Phoenix in early 2019. In February 2019, Ricochet started appearing on the main roster, making appearances on Raw and SmackDown Live. This led to him teaming with Aleister Black, winning the fourth annual Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, and challenging for the Raw Tag Team Championship at Fastlane and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 35. After officially moving to the main roster following WrestleMania 35, Ricochet would win his first main roster title, the United States Championship, at Stomping Grounds, and later the Intercontinental Championship in 2022, who became the first wrestler to hold all of WWE's three major secondary titles.
