PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources that WWE’s Ricochet has given notice that he intends to exit the company when his current contract expires this summer. We are told that Ricochet is expected to be written out of WWE storylines very soon in advance of the contract expiration. Ricochet is currently part of WWE’s Raw brand.
…
One source we spoke with said they were giving Ricochet “all the credit in the world for betting on himself.” One would think he’ll quickly be a hot commodity as a free agent.
I know you have an extremely low opinion of WWE and Triple H, but come on, the man has really turned that company around, and every booker has that same problem when their roster is overly full, AEW has almost 200 people on the roster, you see a handful at any given time on TV in prominent story lines.
Granted Ricochet rarely appeared on TV in the last 6 or so months, way more often since March, but when he did it wasn’t throw away stuff, it was usually with Judgment Day or Ilja Dragunov more recently, he was in an odd program with Ivar until Ivar went down injured.
He was definitely under-utilized by WWE, he’s just suffered the standard WWE 50-50 booking that the lower to midcard get, currently sitting 49% on Cage Match for wins on television.
