Jim Ross Comments on Ricochet’s WWE Future Amid AEW Speculation

Ricochet, a former WWE Intercontinental Champion, is in the spotlight because his WWE contract ends this summer. On the June 10 episode of “WWE Raw,” he was brutally beaten by Bron Breakker and taken away in an ambulance. Many people think this might be his last time on WWE TV.

Amidst the rumors of his potential departure from WWE, there is considerable speculation that Ricochet could join AEW (All Elite Wrestling). This speculation is fueled by his connections with several members of the AEW roster from his past experiences. During a “Grilling JR” podcast episode, AEW commentator Jim Ross addressed these rumors, suggesting it wouldn’t be surprising to see Ricochet in AEW.

Jim Ross expressed a nuanced view on Ricochet potentially joining AEW, noting that while Ricochet is undeniably talented, his impact would depend heavily on how he is introduced and utilized within the AEW framework. Ross acknowledged Ricochet’s impressive athleticism and high-flying style but also suggested that he could benefit from developing a more fundamentally sound wrestling approach.

Reports have emerged indicating that the recent “Raw” segment with Breakker might have been WWE’s attempt to create a compelling reason for Ricochet to remain with the company. The storyline involving Breakker, a former “NXT” Champion, could serve as a pivotal narrative to retain Ricochet, though its outcome remains uncertain.

Ultimately, whether Ricochet stays with WWE or moves to AEW is still up in the air. The unfolding storyline with Breakker could be decisive, or he might choose to explore new opportunities and challenges by joining AEW, becoming “All Elite.” Fans and analysts alike are eagerly awaiting to see where Ricochet’s career path leads next.
