Tony Khan Addresses Rumors of Ricochet Leaving WWE for AEW

Ricochet’s WWE contract is drawing to close in the summer of 2024, and his narrative arc on WWE television took a dramatic twist during the latest installment of Monday Night RAW. Many speculate that this development hints at his imminent transition to AEW. Addressing these speculations, Tony Khan, the head honcho of AEW, has now weighed in on the potential of Ricochet joining their ranks.

On the June 10th episode of Monday Night RAW, Bron Breakker unleashed a brutal assault on Ricochet, subjecting him to a savage beating, culminating in a merciless slam against a car. The onslaught left Ricochet incapacitated, necessitating his evacuation into an ambulance, accompanied by Samantha Irvin, effectively writing him off WWE television for the time being.

In an interview with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, AEW President Tony Khan was pressed to divulge his stance on Ricochet’s talent and potential move to AEW. Khan diplomatically sidestepped the query, emphasizing his reluctance to delve into discussions regarding talents still contracted with WWE.

“If it’s okay, I’d rather not get into wrestlers that still work for someone else,” Khan remarked, succinctly dodging the Ricochet topic.

Furthermore, insider reports from within AEW hint at internal discussions regarding Ricochet’s potential acquisition, with his name surfacing in recent backstage conversations. However, differing opinions exist regarding Ricochet’s prospective ascent to stardom within AEW’s ranks. Some harbor doubts about his ability to shine brightly in the AEW constellation. Ultimately, only time will unfurl the tapestry of Ricochet’s future endeavors.

Amidst these swirling speculations and backstage whispers, the burning question persists: will Ricochet discover his rightful place in the ever-evolving landscape of professional wrestling?
