Fresh off his victory over JD McDonagh in last week's Gauntlet Match, Ricochet continued his winning streak on Raw by defeating "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio.## This momentum carries over as Ricochet seeks retribution in a singles match against JD McDonagh next Monday night on Raw.## During a WWE Raw Exclusive interview with Jackie Redmond, Ricochet declared his intention to settle the score with McDonagh definitively next week. ## "If I'm being honest with you, Jackie, I don't know, I don't know. Because tonight, I had a match against Dominik Mysterio, while Sami Zayn, he got to get ready to face Gunther at WrestleMania for the Intercontinental Championship. And it's funny how ironic, how symbolic, that it's Sami Zayn versus Gunther, the man that I beat to become the Intercontinental Champion, versus the man who took it from me. And we know Ricochet, I'm not really one to complain, but I think I have to point out the obvious. ## Because it seems, once again, Ricochet falls victim to circumstance. Because if I had drawn the same number as Sami Zayn, then you damn sure better bet it was Ricochet going to WrestleMania and not Sami Zayn. But [LAUGH] the more that I talk about this, it really just gives me a headache. Because my business was tonight on Raw, my business was taking out the trash, that is dirty Dominik Mysterio. And then it's funny, because after the match, his little sleazebag partner tried to come in and attack me. Maybe cuz he's butt hurt, because last week, I don't know. But, JD, if you really feeling froggy and you feeling like you wanna get punched in the mouth one more time, how about you show up next week, I can make that happen." ## If you use the above quotes, please credit the original source and link back to Sacnilk with an h/t for the transcription. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
