Ricochet’s WWE Future Uncertain as Former Intercontinental and US Champion

Recent reports from Pro Wrestling Insider state that Ricochet, a former WWE Intercontinental and United States Champion, has made it known to the company that he will be leaving once his contract expires. His current contract is set to come to an end this summer, prompting WWE to quickly write him out of ongoing storylines. During a recent taping of “WWE SmackDown” in Louisville, fans witnessed Ricochet losing his title to Andrade. Additionally, Ricochet has been featured in storylines with Ilja Dragunov and Bron Breakker, suffering losses to both in recent matches. Ricochet took a chance on himself when he signed a five-year deal back in 2019, and at 35 years old, he is poised to have a significant impact on the free agent market. With All Elite Wrestling (AEW) emerging as a potential landing spot, especially following comments from former rival Will Ospreay criticizing WWE’s underutilization of Ricochet’s talents.
