It looks like there's some big news in the world of professional wrestling. According to reports, a major WWE superstar is making the jump to All Elite Wrestling, or AEW. Now, before we go any further, I have to give a heads up - there may be some spoilers for AEW's upcoming event at Wembley Stadium. So if you don't want to know, maybe skip ahead a bit.
So, who's the superstar in question? Well, it's none other than fan favorite Ricochet. Apparently, he's signed with AEW just a couple months after leaving WWE. As you may remember, he left the company when his contract expired at the end of June. And now, it seems he's set to make his debut at Wembley Stadium this Sunday.
The rumors are saying that he could be a part of AEW's All In London event, which is expected to draw a crowd of 50,000 fans. According to sources, he's signed a multi-year agreement with AEW and will be traveling to London for the show. We don't know exactly what his role will be, but it's believed that he's planned to be a part of the event.
This will be Ricochet's first appearance in the wrestling world since he was attacked by Bron Breakker and taken off television. It was a pretty brutal scene, with him being loaded into an ambulance while his fiancee Samantha Irvin broke down in tears. But now, it looks like he's ready to make a big impact in AEW.
His departure from WWE was no surprise, as he had reportedly made it clear to the bosses that he wouldn't be re-signing. He had been with the company for six years, and even though he wasn't a main eventer, he did have some memorable runs with the Intercontinental and United States Titles.
One source said that they give him "all the credit in the world for betting on himself" by deciding to move on. And he's not the only one to leave WWE recently. Just over a week before Ricochet's departure, Becky Lynch also made the decision to leave the company.
But it's not all about the departures - there have been some big names joining WWE as well. Superstars like Bobby Lashley have also made the jump, and it seems like there's no shortage of talent moving between the two companies. In fact, there are rumors that AEW may be bringing in some iconic tag teams like the Lucha Brothers and Motor City Machine Guns.
One person who's excited about the potential for new matchups is AEW's Will Ospreay. He and Ricochet have faced off in the past in Japan and on the independent scene, and their matches are highly regarded by fans around the world. Ospreay even went as far as to say that he wants to rekindle their rivalry and show Ricochet's true potential.
"I want him to know that there are people here that genuinely appreciate his work and I want to wrestle him again," Ospreay said in an interview. "He's one of the best going, and if the opportunity presents itself, I think he should bet on himself. I think he should remind himself that he's one of the best high-flyers to ever do it."
It's clear that there are exciting times ahead for both AEW and WWE, and fans can't wait to see what's in store. Who knows, maybe we'll even see some new dream matchups between Ricochet and other top talent in the wrestling world. All we can do now is wait and see.
