Former WWE Intercontinental and United States Champion Ricochet has made headlines with his decision to leave the company once his contract expires. Ricochet, who signed a five-year deal with WWE in 2019, is set to part ways with the wrestling giant, as reported by Pro Wrestling Insider.

With rumors circulating that Ricochet’s contract is coming to an end this summer, his departure from WWE appears imminent. Sources suggest that WWE is already preparing to write him out of ongoing storylines. Fans at ‘WWE SmackDown’ in Louisville witnessed Ricochet losing his title to Andrade in a match taped before the June 7 episode, signaling the beginning of his exit from the promotion.

Recent matches have seen Ricochet facing off against the likes of Ilja Dragunov and Bron Breakker, with mixed results. Despite these challenges, Ricochet has been praised for his decision to bet on himself and explore new opportunities in the wrestling world.

At just 35 years old, Ricochet is poised to make a significant impact on the free agent market. Speculation is rife that he may join All Elite Wrestling (AEW), especially following comments from AEW International Champion Will Ospreay, who criticized WWE’s handling of Ricochet’s talent.

As fans eagerly await Ricochet’s next move, the wrestling landscape is set for a potential shakeup with the impending arrival of this high-flying superstar in a new promotion.
