WWE Rumors: Ricochet to Leave Company After Contract Expires This Summer

WWE Superstar Ricochet has given the company notice that he intends to leave after his current contract expires this summer, per Mike Johnson of PW Insider.

"We are told that Ricochet is expected to be written out of WWE storylines very soon in advance of the contract expiration," Johnson reported Saturday on Ricochet, who is currently performing on Raw.

Ricochet also "liked" the following post on X, formerly known as Twitter. It was posted one day before Johnson's report that Ricochet would be leaving WWE:

Ricochet has found great success in WWE, winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship, The United States Championship and The WWE NXT North American Championship.

The fast and high-flying performer also won the first-ever WWE Speed Championship.

The 35-year-old made his professional debut on his 15th birthday (Oct. 11, 2003) for Chaos Pro Wrestling under the name he still uses to this day. He made numerous stops over the next 15 years, most notably at Dragon Gate USA, New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Lucha Underground.

WWE then signed Ricochet in 2018, and he made his way to NXT, where he won the North American Championship and also the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic with Aleister Black. One year later, Ricochet made his debut on the main roster.

Ultimately, Ricochet is an incredibly talented wrestler whose talents probably weren't utilized as best as they could have been in WWE.

Perhaps a change of scenery is needed for him to truly showcase him at his best elsewhere. And if so, that's a big win for wrestling fans, who will get to see this electric talent perform at his peak.
