Report: Ricochet Not Taking Any Independent Dates Past January
Where is Ricochet heading to in the future? It's anyone's guess, but wherever he is going, it appears to be happening soon.
The Wrestling Observer reported yesterday that Ricochet has said he isn't taking any dates until the end of January. This could mean that he is WWE bound, but that is far from certain.
Despite all of this, Ricochet is the current PWG Heavyweight champion, defeating Chuck Taylor at All Star Weekend – Night 2. He cut a promo after the match, seemingly turning himself heel and saying that he is here to stay. It will be interesting to see if he will be champion past 1/12, which is PWG's next date as they aren't running shows for the next two months.
Ricochet has also seemingly left New Japan Pro Wrestling in the last month. He and tag team partner Ryusuke Taguchi lost the IWGP Jr. tag team titles to Sho and Yoh, the newly rebranded Roppongi 3K. After the match, he gave an interview thanking New Japan fans and Ryusuke Taguchi for being a great coach. He isn't a part of New Japan's current tour, either. In fact, in the Best of the Super Jr. Tag Tournament, ACH has seemingly replaced him as Ryusuke Taguchi's tag partner.
