Backstage news regarding WWE’s angle with Bron Breakker attacking Ricochet on RAW

As seen during the June 10th 2024 edition of WWE RAW, Ricochet was attacked backstage by Bron Breakker and ended up being taken out of the arena in an ambulance. The belief is that this angle was done to write Ricochet off television as he is expected to be leaving WWE when his contract expires.

There is reportedly a little bit of time left on Ricochet’s contract. According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com, he was told by a WWE star that the angle seemed “way too elaborate” to do for someone leaving. Meltzer noted the following…

“There is enough time that they could bring him back for a different ending. And the reality is, people can also change their mind. WWE was not wanting to lose him, obviously, and the angle was done to give him a great reason to return if he had second thoughts. WWE had ideas for him both if he was staying as well as ways to write him out, but those in WWE confirmed to us that the belief there was he was leaving.”

In a video published to his Instagram account this week, Will Ospreay seemingly teased Ricochet coming to AEW.
