Outside of WWE, Mann is best known for his tenure with various Japanese promotions such as Dragon Gate (DG) 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, DDT Pro-Wrestling's umbrella brand CyberFight, where he won the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship once, and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where 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 three-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 and first ever two-time Lucha Underground Champion. Mann is also known for his tenure with Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) from 2010 to 2018, where he is a former 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 officially took the moniker of Ricochet in 2018 when he signed on with the WWE. In this role, he eventually marshalled a reputation for his wrestling performance, marked by innovative acrobatics, agile movement, mid-air flexibility and coordination. Ricochet defeated 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. 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. He later would go on to win the Intercontinental Championship on an episode of SmackDown in 2022, making him the first wrestler to hold all of WWE's three major secondary titles.
