When Owens had a tag team match on September 13th against A-Town Down, many thought Orton would be his partner. But Orton couldn’t make it at the correct time due to travel problems.
So, a mystery partner stepped in instead during SmackDown. However, things went wrong in the ring before the match, and Owens later apologized to his new partner on social media.
Since Randy Orton wasn’t available, Kevin Owens briefly introduced Ricky, his mystery partner, in the ring. However, WWE legend Randy Orton arrived soon after to replace Ricky.
Unexpectedly, the Prizefighter then delivered a Stunner to Ricky. This action upset fans, leading to the trending hashtag “#JusticeForRicky” on social media. After that, while responding online with an honest apology, Owens showed little regret for the incident.
Kevin Owens tweeted, “Thank you (and sorry!) @rockinrickyg.” Before this viral event, Ricky didn’t have much of a reputation in the WWE arena. Now, however, everyone is curious about him.
Who is Kevin Owens’ mystery partner Ricky?
Ricky’s debut in the WWE ring wasn’t very impressive and left many disappointed. However, he’s no newcomer to professional wrestling. With nearly two decades in the business, Ricky is a well-acclaimed tag team wrestler on the independent circuit.
He is known in the independent circuit as Ricky Gibson, and he has 20 title reigns to his name. In addition, since 2017, he has teamed up with Eddie Pearl as Midnight Heat, winning nine tag team championships together.
