Former WWE United States Champion Ricochet addressed the growing speculation about his potential departure from WWE. This past weekend, reports surfaced indicating that Ricochet’s current WWE contract will expire this summer. Amid these rumors, Ricochet informed the promotion that he intends to leave once his contract expires.
Following this news, speculation has been growing among fans about what might be next for Ricochet. Some believe he will re-sign with WWE since his fiancée, Samantha Irvin, is also with the promotion. Irvin, a ring announcer for WWE, has recently received a lot of praise from fans and wrestling veterans. However, other fans think Ricochet might not re-sign with WWE and may explore options outside the promotion, possibly joining AEW.
Amid reports of his departure, wrestling journalist Ryan Satin shared his thoughts, expressing hope that Ricochet would be presented similarly wherever he decides to go next. He posted an old video of Ricochet delivering a promo, highlighting how he should be portrayed in the future. The tweet caught the eye of the former United States Champion, who responded to it.
With the former United States Champion hinting that he could deliver a similar promo in one take, it will be interesting to see if the high-flyer will go somewhere else or re-sign with WWE.
Ricochet’s WWE status up in the air amid exit rumors
Amid recent reports of his departure, wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer mentioned on FWOnline that Ricochet’s status with WWE is still uncertain. Meltzer revealed that a source close to the situation has indicated that everything regarding Ricochet’s contract with WWE is up in the air.
Ricochet is currently involved in a feud with former NXT Champion Bron Breakker. Last week, the two stars faced off in a match that Breakker won. Following the match, Breakker attempted to injure him, but Ilja Dragunov came to his aid. It will be interesting to see if this feud will be his last in WWE and whether last week’s attack was meant to write him off the program.
