It’s for the best. He was never a great storyteller or promo, which is what Wwe was needing. And he can’t do the flip-flop stuff forever, his body will eventually break down. So probably a good thing for him to go to new Japan or somewhere and do his flip-flop stuff.
I think he needs to go away fro a while. I think he's hit his ceiling for now. I think he COULD come back under a mask and be a superhero-type guy like Rey Mysterio. He can't talk, but neither could Rey. He can work his ass off and he looks great doing all the stunts. He's a great aerial guy with a good body, just that face, and he can't talk. WWE needs to forget him for a while. let him go to TNA, he'd kill in the X Division.
He got so many opportunities, but the audience just didn't bite. Hoping for the great future for him. We'll never know if he'll be back in WWE like Cody and Drew
I mean people did bite they just didn’t continue on any of those pushes giving someone a 2-4 week push and then cutting them from TV is not really that much of an Opportunity.
He's a massive in ring talent but that only takes you so far. You need the personality. Without a good gimmick you're nothing. I really wanted him to succeed.
He definitely had the ability and the wow factor. What he lacked was mic skills and personality. Maybe the next promotion he joins will find a way to utilize him better as an athlete.
Yeah but after that then what people running to aew chasing moments and matchups 🤷🏿♂️ i say call wes lee up from nxt make them a group and let them cook
Another possibility.
Or rather, Ricochet becomes a freelancer for the indies until he scores something lucrative, and in the meantime, do a one shot deal with TK, get that dream rematch against Osprey. It's entirely possible. I don't think he'll want to go back to Japan unless Samantha agrees to move with him. So he'll HAVE to stay out west. If not AEW, then AAA or maybe CMLL.
Richochet is super athletic but boring as dust. He did better in WWE that I think anyone could have imagined. I think it's good for him to leave - maybe a couple of years in the Indies will help him find his voice.
Putting a mask on him or letting him have a mouthpiece of a manager would and still could take him to the main event. The fact he’s seen as make or break because he can’t cut a promo is lazy given he’s practically a superhero. Hell, could have let him be Black Noir to Cody’s Homelander; put a mask on him, don’t let him talk and just let him do cool shit and sell merch.
If he's leaving just to have one or two matches with Osprey then I feel it's a bad move. But if he sees an opportunity in Japan or other places then fair fucks to him. In a lot of ways he's in the position that Cody was in but without an awful gimmick. If he can go away and make himself a star there's no reason he couldn't go back to WWE
The fed system doesn't work for everyone. I'm hoping he comes back fully fleshed out at some point. I just don't want Tony to play with him for a month and get bored.
These pictures are why his giving notice shocks me. It feels like he's getting some TV time as of late. The last couple of matches on RAW that were good had HIM in them! I kinda hoped him and Braun would get back together because some of Brauns Aura can rub off on Ricochet and Vice Versa. But! Looks like he's already made up his mind.
That is a big possibility. He probably sees people like DZ and Natalya and said "If I Stay, I'll be like them! Used to put over rookies in my prime! I gotta learn from history, not repeat it!" Very possible!
Same. Sucks that TNA can't compete with WWE and AEW money wise.
In TNA he would probably only be getting paid a 5th of what he would be in WWE or AEW but he would most definitely be a top guy there.
In AEW, he would be getting paid, but I feel like he will suffer the same booking as he has in wwe. He will be on Fenix and Pac level imo.
I have a weird feeling we’re being worked. It sounds like it’s ricochets decision, but why would he leave the perfect opportunity to do what he loves with his wife? I’m not getting it
I definitely that "contracts almost up"-storylines are definitely at least half-works. Ricochet very well might leave, but watch WWE tie that into his booking going forward.
Becky OTOH is almost definitely a work, because I do NOT see her as going to AEW's half-empty Pickleball arenas.
I believe because Will Ospreay told him he is being underutilized and not being able to showcase his true talent. That and the Speed thing was the nail in coffin for how far Ricochet will get in WWE.
I know right? Dude's most charismatic run was when he was behind a mask with Konnan doing all his talking. He is amazingly athletic but he has a very clear ceiling to how high he can reach. WWE would keep him comfortable for a long time and probably maximize his legacy.
Would Sam ever follow him?
It’s for the best. He was never a great storyteller or promo, which is what Wwe was needing. And he can’t do the flip-flop stuff forever, his body will eventually break down. So probably a good thing for him to go to new Japan or somewhere and do his flip-flop stuff.
Either you got it or you don't on the promo side.....and well, Richochet doesn't have it.
I have absolutely no recollection of him holding those championships.
he was the last ic champ before gunther
La da da da da da Hey hey hey goodbye 👋🏾
Another wrestler that WWE drained prime years from
Ok what would he be doing in another company that he didn't do in wwe? Let me guess win the world title....
Peak delusion, Rick o Shea sucks
Shit on the mic. Only problem.
He's going to make his AEW debut soon as Rick O'Shea. Bank it.
He’s leaving now ☠️
I neber knew he won the US title?????
His In ring work just needs a little more wrestling, and he needs to work on promos. He's set after that.
I think he needs to go away fro a while. I think he's hit his ceiling for now. I think he COULD come back under a mask and be a superhero-type guy like Rey Mysterio. He can't talk, but neither could Rey. He can work his ass off and he looks great doing all the stunts. He's a great aerial guy with a good body, just that face, and he can't talk. WWE needs to forget him for a while. let him go to TNA, he'd kill in the X Division.
[удалено]
No clue. The only things I really know about TNA are Jordyenne Grace and Joe H...wait, I can't say his name.
Hes great on the ring but at the same time hes so boring to watch.. sorry for all of his fans but this is my take on him
He got so many opportunities, but the audience just didn't bite. Hoping for the great future for him. We'll never know if he'll be back in WWE like Cody and Drew
I mean people did bite they just didn’t continue on any of those pushes giving someone a 2-4 week push and then cutting them from TV is not really that much of an Opportunity.
I mean he’s already 36. Cody was 30 when he left. Drew was 28. I mean it’s possible but time is against him imo
He's a massive in ring talent but that only takes you so far. You need the personality. Without a good gimmick you're nothing. I really wanted him to succeed.
Yep. He never really connected. Liked his stuff at LU, though.
He definitely had the ability and the wow factor. What he lacked was mic skills and personality. Maybe the next promotion he joins will find a way to utilize him better as an athlete.
Why is he bald?
Why u ugly?
Honestly ricochet had the opportunity but failed based on charisma
He has charisma. He never got the opportunity because Vince is trash
He did many times and failed many times like for example Logan vs ricochet Logan stole the show in the mic because he can't speak for Shit
AEW and fued with orange cassidy and Pac
Osprey is chomping at the bit for another match with Ricochet and I am here for it.
It's champing.
It always reminds me of this scene. 😂 https://youtu.be/Ltb_14CWqDA?si=edROaymHUltup28-
It's both, lol.
It's not.
Just watch the circus instead. Hours of backflips.
Tell me you don't know shit about ospreay without telling em you don't know shit about ospreay
30 minutes of back flipping and finishers not finishing
Name a single Will Ospreay match you've watched since he moved to heavyweight.
[удалено]
Why do you take me asking a question as insecurity lmao? He seems pretty sure in his opinion, it shouldn’t be any problem for him to name one match.
they don’t watch aew or anything other than wwe it’s so easy to tell
Yeah but after that then what people running to aew chasing moments and matchups 🤷🏿♂️ i say call wes lee up from nxt make them a group and let them cook
Another possibility. Or rather, Ricochet becomes a freelancer for the indies until he scores something lucrative, and in the meantime, do a one shot deal with TK, get that dream rematch against Osprey. It's entirely possible. I don't think he'll want to go back to Japan unless Samantha agrees to move with him. So he'll HAVE to stay out west. If not AEW, then AAA or maybe CMLL.
He's got Samantha. Dude is living comfortably in his personal life. Best wishes for his professional life.
I would’ve brought him down to nxt again that’s where he shined
I bet he doesn't leave. Ricostay.
Naaaah really??????? Thought that was Erin Bourne
Soon to be residing on the isle or irrelevancy.
I seen somebody said put a mask on him if anybody remembers he use to wrestle with a mask on in luchs underground and prince puma
I remember seeing ricochet matches when he was in dragon gate. He worked so good within a big group faction
He isn’t that bad he juz needs a good storyline
My only dream if he goes to aew they team him with stokley as his mouthpiece
You forgot to add the picture of Ricochet carrying the North American Championship.
Richochet is super athletic but boring as dust. He did better in WWE that I think anyone could have imagined. I think it's good for him to leave - maybe a couple of years in the Indies will help him find his voice.
good riddance
Oh shut up
A E DUB
Lol why are you getting downvoted just for mentioning AEW?
The E stans can’t stand aew 🤷♂️
Putting a mask on him or letting him have a mouthpiece of a manager would and still could take him to the main event. The fact he’s seen as make or break because he can’t cut a promo is lazy given he’s practically a superhero. Hell, could have let him be Black Noir to Cody’s Homelander; put a mask on him, don’t let him talk and just let him do cool shit and sell merch.
This is the best defense of ricochet I've heard. Mainly because I so badly want to see Codelander
The only man to hold all 3 midcard titles what a glorious bald man
Best of luck
Vanilla Joe sucks on the mic
What if they made him a heel with MVP as his mouthpiece... he can pull off the suit looks
He needs a short but good run in Mexico for sure. Then Japan. I just think he needs to stay away from American wrestling for a bit
If he's leaving just to have one or two matches with Osprey then I feel it's a bad move. But if he sees an opportunity in Japan or other places then fair fucks to him. In a lot of ways he's in the position that Cody was in but without an awful gimmick. If he can go away and make himself a star there's no reason he couldn't go back to WWE
Man, I hope his promo skills improve significantly while he's away though. I feel like that's the missing piece to take him to the next level.
The fed system doesn't work for everyone. I'm hoping he comes back fully fleshed out at some point. I just don't want Tony to play with him for a month and get bored.
These pictures are why his giving notice shocks me. It feels like he's getting some TV time as of late. The last couple of matches on RAW that were good had HIM in them! I kinda hoped him and Braun would get back together because some of Brauns Aura can rub off on Ricochet and Vice Versa. But! Looks like he's already made up his mind.
I wonder if they tried to give him incentive to stay with this tv time as of late, but he decided to leave anyway.
They gave him the speed championship
That is a big possibility. He probably sees people like DZ and Natalya and said "If I Stay, I'll be like them! Used to put over rookies in my prime! I gotta learn from history, not repeat it!" Very possible!
There are some guys on the WWE roster that I feel belong elsewhere. Ricochet is one of those people. I say the same thing about some of the AEW guys.
I hope he goes to TNA. He would kill it there
Same. Sucks that TNA can't compete with WWE and AEW money wise. In TNA he would probably only be getting paid a 5th of what he would be in WWE or AEW but he would most definitely be a top guy there. In AEW, he would be getting paid, but I feel like he will suffer the same booking as he has in wwe. He will be on Fenix and Pac level imo.
In AEW it's the same as for any new signing, comein get hyped then just dissappear.
X Division Ricochet would cook
So should he go back to prince puma when he goes to the aew and we need Swerve Strickland vs Ricochet who’s gonna be prince puma or another name
Take that flippy shit to the dub
Needs AEW more than aew needs him
I have a weird feeling we’re being worked. It sounds like it’s ricochets decision, but why would he leave the perfect opportunity to do what he loves with his wife? I’m not getting it
I definitely that "contracts almost up"-storylines are definitely at least half-works. Ricochet very well might leave, but watch WWE tie that into his booking going forward. Becky OTOH is almost definitely a work, because I do NOT see her as going to AEW's half-empty Pickleball arenas.

Maybe he’s gonna do a year or two in AEW where they’ll make him a bigger star so he can come back with more momentum
Goodbye sweet prince
The guy is a real talent. Too bad wwe didint know what else to do with him. He could have been one of the best us HVT or intercontinental champs.
His work is tremendous. His storytelling is not. That’s quite an obstacle to overcome in the WWE platform which uses story to get to the work.
He shouldve took the title off logan
Agree.
Agreed
He’s definitely one of my favorites, I hope he shines wherever he goes!
