Ricochet & WWE situation currently ‘up in the air’

The relationship between WWE and Ricochet might not be done yet after all.

After reporting came out Saturday night that the current Speed Champion had given his notice to WWE that he would not be returning once his contract expired this summer, our Dave Meltzer is reporting that “according to those close to the situation, everything is up in the air.”

The initial PWInsider report had cited multiple sources in stating the 35-year-old had told WWE he was not coming back after his current deal was up. Since that report, this is the first indication that might not be the case.

The news had some excited that Ricochet could potentially rematch with old rival Will Ospreay in AEW or perhaps return to the rings of NJPW.

Ricochet has been in the WWE system since January 2018 and has held the Intercontinental title, the United States title and the NXT North American title in addition to the Speed title. His fiancee, Samantha Irvin, is currently a WWE ring announcer.
