The most important day of the year for All Elite Wrestling has arrived. Today, August 27, AEW All In 2024 is held at Wembley Stadium in London, England. The show features Swerve Strickland defending the AEW World Championship against Bryan Danielson in the main event of the night. In addition, the likes of Mercedes Moné, FTR, Will Ospreay, The Young Bucks, MJF, Toni Storm, and many others will be at the event. However, one name that has made major headlines is the surprise debut of Ricochet!

In the gauntlet match that featured the likes of Orange Cassidy, Hangman Adam Page, Zack Sabre Jr., and returning-to-action Nigel McGuiness, the biggest crowd pop was surely earned by the limitless high-flying phenom, Ricochet. Ricochet left WWE on July 1. The contract of the former Intercontinental Champion ended, and neither of the two parties reached a renewal agreement.

Ricochet became one of the hottest free agents out there, and several outlets reported that Tony Khan was planning to go all out to get the former Prince Puma. And now, the high flyer is All Elite and surely will be aiming for the top. Although he did not win the gauntlet match, the crowd support surely proves that he is all set to be a star for the main events.

Ricochet spent seven years in WWE and achieved several accomplishments during this time. Now, at 35 years old, he is starting a new adventure in All Elite Wrestling with wrestlers like Will Ospreay, who have expressed their desire to face him again in the ring.

But why did he not use Prince Puma’s gimmick for his return? Ricochet was surely expected by many to bring his lucha character to light again after his WWE run as Ricochet. Well, the high flyer did provide the answer to this mystery.

When Ricochet assured that he would not return to the ring as Prince Puma

Before coming to WWE, during his time in Lucha Underground, Ricochet wrestled under the name Prince Puma, which catapulted him to the top of the independent scene and later allowed him to sign with WWE. Now that he is no longer part of WWE, many fans speculated that Ricochet will use this character again. However, it doesn’t look like that’s going to be the case.

When a fan asked the wrestler on social media if he had plans to bring back the character of Prince Puma. Ricochet said that this is not going to happen. Since it is a character that was never his and that is only part of the Lucha Underground universe. So he will not use it again in his next venture. He also mentioned that he did not like wearing the mask. “I dunno, it’s not my gimmick. It belongs to #LuchaUnderground.” What do you think of Ricochet’s arrival? Let us know in the comments.
