According to recent reports, a well-known superstar from the wrestling world is on the verge of making a big move. Ricochet, a fan favorite and former Intercontinental Champion, has allegedly signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) after leaving WWE almost two months ago. This news is causing quite a stir among fans, especially with the possibility of Ricochet making his debut at the upcoming All In London event at Wembley Stadium.
It is believed that Ricochet's contract with WWE expired at the end of June, leading to his departure from the company. And now, sources are saying that he has inked a "multi-year agreement" with AEW, with plans for him to be a part of the highly anticipated All In London show. As per Fightful Select, Ricochet will be traveling to London for the event, although his role in the show has not been revealed yet.
This will mark Ricochet's first appearance in the wrestling world since his brutal attack by Bron Breakker, which resulted in him being written off television. The shocking incident saw Ricochet being taken away in an ambulance as his fiancée Samantha Irvin broke down in tears. Needless to say, fans are eagerly waiting to see Ricochet make an impact in AEW.
As reported by PWInsider, Ricochet made it clear to WWE management that he will not be renewing his contract, putting an end to his six-year stint with the company. Despite not being a top-tier wrestler, he had successful runs with the Intercontinental and United States Titles during his time on the main roster. Sources close to the situation have commended Ricochet for taking a chance on himself and making the decision to move on from WWE, following in the footsteps of Becky Lynch who also recently left the company.
Ricochet's departure also came after AEW's Will Ospreay, who has had some highly praised matches with him in Japan and on the independent scene, expressed his desire to rekindle their rivalry. Ospreay even criticized WWE for not utilizing Ricochet's talents to their full potential and stated that he would love to see him have more time and opportunities to showcase his skills.
In the past few months, there have been several major moves in the wrestling world, with superstars like Bobby Lashley leaving WWE. However, WWE has also managed to bring in top talents like Stephanie Vaquer, and there are rumors of iconic tag teams like the Lucha Brothers and Motor City Machine Guns also potentially joining the company.
