Trevor Mann, best known by his ring name Ricochet, is now one of the hottest topics in the wrestling world. He’s the only sort of wrestler who possesses exceptional in-ring talents, and it is clear that he is reportedly departing WWE. Ricochet’s contract ended on the last edition of Monday Night Raw. So far, there has been a lot of conjecture about him, given that there has been no specific news concerning his next move.
At the moment, it appears like Ricochet will not sign another contract with WWE since he has not been adequately presented. Even though he has several options on the market, WWE’s main competition is already keeping an eye on him. Yes, we’re talking about AEW, as Tony Khan would be thrilled to sign Mr. High Fly. Now, many fans are questioning these rumors, with some of them speculating whether Ricochet would alter his name.

During a recent exchange at the What Do You Guys Wanna Talk About? With Sean Ross Sapp Podcast, SRS stated, “Can the name Ricochet be used outside of WWE? Yes, he used it before. And unless he just, for some reason, handed over that trademark, which didn’t happen, Trevor Mann owns that trademark. So yes, he can use Ricochet outside of WWE.” But now, the question remains: Is Ricochet really going to AEW?
Is it official that Ricochet will depart WWE?
Although it is clear that Ricochet has informed WWE that he is unwilling to re-sign the contract, speculations about him have not stopped. There have been several speculations in the market concerning this news, but no official statement has been made by anyone. Ricochet may still be at the organization, seeking to find common ground with them for his new contract.
