It was reported earlier this week that Ricochet’s WWE contract expired and he is expected to join AEW. In an update on Ricochet potentially working for AEW, Fightful Select noted the following in regards to the situation…

“Ricochet’s agent was backstage at AEW this week, and we’re told had been leading the subsequent talks between the two sides. Ricochet’s agent also represents a number of other talent across WWE and AEW.”

Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com confirmed that Ricochet is expected to be starting up imminently with AEW. Meltzer stated the following regarding Ricochet’s potential with the company…

“I think we’ve learned nobody that AEW can get is going to single-handedly move ratings at this point, but as far as crowd reactions after the first week, where obviously it’ll be big, will they see him as a WWE guy who was just a guy on the roster or will they see him as Ricochet from years ago when he was one of the hottest indie stars in the world?”
