In a turn of events that shocked the wrestling world, it appears that Ricochet, the sensation known for his spectacular performances in the ring, will be leaving WWE. A recent announcement on WWE’s official Twitter account confirmed that Ricochet will be out of action for an “undisclosed amount of time” following a brutal attack by Bron Breaker on Monday Night RAW.
WWE announced in a statement that “Following a brutal attack at the hands of @bronbreakkerwwe last Monday at #WWERaw, @KingRicochet will be sidelined for an undisclosed amount of time due to upper body injuries.”
The update sparked intense speculation from fans and insiders alike, suggesting that Ricochet’s days with WWE are over and that his next destination could be All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

WWE Universe Reacts: Fans See Behind the Veil
As soon as WWE’s tweet was made public, fans expressed their opinions on social media. Many were quick to dismiss the “unknown timeline” as merely a euphemism for Ricochet’s impending departure to AEW. One fan tweeted, “Unknown duration = he’ll go to AEW under his real name for a few years, then be repackaged and come back to WWE in a storyline with Bron Breaker, who is already champion at this point.”
Another fan predicted a temporary AEW appearance before a WWE return, saying, “He’ll go to AEW, realize he’s underpaid while performing in empty arenas, and come back in 2 years.”
Undisclosed amount of time = going to AEW for a few years under his real name, then coming back to WWE repackaged and in a storyline with Bronn Breakerr, which will be a champion by that time.

Speculation about Ricochet’s future: AEW or TNA?
While most fans are leaning towards Ricochet going to AEW, some believe he could move to TNA (Total Nonstop Action Wrestling). The recent trend of wrestlers moving between promotions makes this option more important as well.
One fan speculated, “Maybe he’ll go to TNA for a while as some kind of trade deal.”
Another echoed that sentiment, saying, “I think TNA.”
However, some fans are hoping Ricochet will have second thoughts and re-sign with WWE. This faction believes his return could give him a big boost, perhaps in the vein of Cody Rhodes’ return.
Ricochet’s potential move to AEW: Industry reaction
The excitement surrounding Ricochet’s potential move to AEW has also caught the attention of industry veterans and insiders. Prominent AEW figure Will Ospreay has openly expressed his excitement over the possibility of Ricochet joining the Tony Khan-led promotion. Other AEW stars such as MJF and Swerve Strickland have also hinted at welcoming Ricochet into the fold.
With Ricochet’s contract with WWE expiring in July, the wrestling world is buzzing with anticipation. The former United States Champion is best known for his previous appearances as Prince Puma in Lucha Underground and has a lot of fame ahead of him. His possible AEW debut could shake up the wrestling world with new matches and storylines.
Emotional farewell: Ricochet’s final WWE appearance?
As the wrestling world waits with bated breath, there is speculation that Ricochet may make his final WWE appearance to conclude his story with Bron Breaker. This final act would be an emotional farewell and give fans a chance to witness the high flyer’s brilliance one last time under the WWE banner.
Fan verdict: Mixed emotions and high expectations
The fanbase remains divided but enthusiastic about Ricochet’s future. While some are excited about the new opportunities and encounters AEW can offer, others are concerned that his departure is a temporary setback and that he may eventually return to WWE.
One fan commented: “Ricochet is not going anywhere. He is re-signing with WWE.”
This sentiment highlights fans’ uncertainty and emotional attachment to Ricochet’s career decision. His high-handed style and charismatic presence have earned him a loyal following, and there is no doubt that his actions will have a major impact on both WWE and AEW.
