Jim Ross thinks Ricochet could potentially add something to the mix in AEW.
Ricochet's future has been up in the air since Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that the former WWE Intercontinental Champion gave WWE his notice of his intent to leave the company when his contract expires this summer. On the June 10 episode of WWE Raw, Bron Breakker brutally attacked Ricochet, who was then loaded into an ambulance. Ricochet has widely been linked to AEW, given his history with stars like Will Ospreay.
Speaking on Grilling JR, AEW broadcaster Jim Ross was asked whether he would be surprised to see Ricochet come to AEW.
“Well, not really, but I don’t know how much difference he makes. It depends on how he’s brought in and how he’s presented and how he’s positioned. He’s a talented kid, there’s no doubt about that. I’ve met with him before, and I like him. He’s very spot-heavy. I’d like to see him be able to be a little bit more fundamentally sound. But he’s a very talented, athletic kid, so who knows? But it seems to me to be kind of obvious that the AEW brand would be where he might migrate to. It’s regular work. I don’t understand. It seems to me like the fact that guys can work essentially one or two days a week and still make a good living and work with quality guys, that’s the great thing, too. Tony Khan has assembled an amazing roster. It’s pretty terrific, quite frankly, and I like the fact that they got that rolling, and again, you see how good these guys and gals are on these big events. Ricochet, he can add something to the mix if he’s brought in the right way and he makes an impact and so forth. So we’ll see how it works out, but he’s a good kid. Seems to me like a very good kid, and he’s sure as hell talented," Ross said.
WWE announced that Ricochet would be out of action for an undisclosed amount of time after Bron Breakker's attack. More information is available here.
