Ricochet, the high-flyer of WWE, is reportedly leaving the company soon, with sources indicating that he will be signing with AEW. The news of his departure has been buzzing in the WWE Universe, with significant speculation surrounding his fiancée and WWE ring announcer, Samantha Irvin.
Ricochet gave his notice to WWE more than a week ago, and his last match could be on the upcoming RAW episode. He has ownership of his ring name, “Ricochet,” having filed a trademark for it in 2018, and his ‘First Use In Commerce’ date is listed as October 11, 2003.
However, there is no truth to the rumors that Samantha Irvin might be leaving WWE with Ricochet. She has a separate contract with WWE, and her meeting and engagement with Ricochet did not affect her contractual obligations.
Sources close to the situation confirmed that Ricochet gave his notice shortly before the news broke, and his contract expires in the early summer. WWE is giving him credit for “betting on himself” when he signed with WWE in January 2018 after international success with promotions such as NJPW, PWG, and Lucha Underground, among others.
Ricochet has been trending for most of this week, and speculation about his next career move has been widespread. While WWE officials had considered writing him out of the company for good during tonight’s RAW, nothing has been confirmed yet.
