Trevor Mann (born October 11, 1988), known by his ring name Ricochet, is an American professional wrestler. As of August 2024, he is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW). He is best known for his tenure in WWE.
Known for his high-flying wrestling style marked by innovative acrobatics, agility, and mid-air flexibility, Mann has performed for various Japanese promotions such as Dragon Gate (DG) and its American branch Dragon Gate USA (DGUSA), and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). In DG and DGUSA, he held the Open the Brave, Dream, Triangle, Twin, and Freedom Gate Championships, and also won the 2013 King of Gate. In NJPW, he won the 2014 Best of the Super Juniors tournament, and the 2015 Super Junior Tag League tournament alongside Matt Sydal, in addition to being a former 3-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion and a former three-time NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champion.
Mann also wrestled as Prince Puma for American promotion Lucha Underground where he was the inaugural two-time Lucha Underground Champion and a former Lucha Underground Trios Champion. He is also known for his tenure with Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) from 2010 to 2018 where he is a former PWG World Champion, and the only 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.
Mann signed with WWE in 2018 and defeated Fabian Aichner in his debut match for WWE's developmental brand, NXT. He later competed at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans for the NXT North American Championship, a title he would win four months later at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn IV. In February 2019, he started appearing on the main roster, making appearances on Raw and SmackDown. These appearances 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 WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 35. After officially moving to the main roster after WrestleMania 35, he won his first main roster title, the United States Championship, at Stomping Grounds. He later would go on to win the Intercontinental Championship on an episode of SmackDown in 2022. In mid-2024, he became the first Speed Champion before leaving WWE at the end of June. He then signed with AEW that August.
