In a recent podcast, Vince Russo, the former head writer of WWE, shared his views on Ricochet’s choice to leave WWE and potentially join All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Ricochet, a multiple championship winner in WWE, has decided not to renew his contract, which ends later this year.
Russo speculated that the attractive offer from AEW president Tony Khan and the influence of Ricochet’s partner, Samantha Irvin, who is also a WWE employee, might have contributed to his decision. However, Russo emphasized that the financial aspect could have played a significant role, with “a lot of money involved” in Ricochet’s departure from WWE.
The news of Ricochet’s departure came after a dramatic storyline where he was attacked by Bron Breakker in a parking lot segment on WWE RAW. While the precise reasons for his departure are undisclosed, his potential move to AEW may impact professional wrestling.
Ricochet’s decision to leave WWE and possibly join AEW has created excitement and anticipation in the wrestling world. The potential implications of this move may reshape the terrain of professional wrestling.
