Ricochet Takes Blame For End Of WWE Career

Ricochet’s time in WWE came crashing to an end in the summer of 2024 but the star blames nobody but himself for the way his time in the company panned out.

Ricochet left WWE when his contract expired over the summer and was written off TV following a vicious attack at the hands of Bron Breakker who slammed him through a car windscreen.

Since then, Ricochet has debuted in AEW where he was part of the Casino Gauntlet match at All In where it seemed clear that he was keen to show the world just what they had been missing.

Ricochet Only Blames Himself For WWE Career

Speaking on The Ringer Wrestling Show, Ricochet explains why he blames no one but himself for the way his WWE career wound up and says any frustration he felt was from wanting to show the fans who supported him just what he could do:

You can place the blame anywhere, but I just blame myself…that’s the only person I can blame because that’s all you can do. Obviously I didn’t do something, I don’t know what it was. For me, again, frustrating is maybe not the word, because again my last couple of years I met my future wife there, I made mad connections, the locker room was always awesome.

As far as creatively, I mean yeah, there would have been more I’d like to do. Just again, mostly for the fans that want to see me do stuff, not even for me. It’s more frustrating for me to see the fans want me to go out there and actually do something of some substance.

I was out there a lot, I was on television a lot, I was used a lot. But the quality of what I was doing specifically wasn’t there. There was a lot of quantity of Ricochet, but the quality of what he was getting just wasn’t what I wanted.

That’s okay, that’s how it falls. I can only blame myself. I can’t blame anybody else, I just can’t. But it wasn’t frustrating because I had a lot of good times there still. But was there more of what I wanted to do? Absolutely. But man, I can’t say it was frustrating because I still had a good time.

Since joining AEW, Ricochet has defeated Kyle Fletcher of The Don Callis Family and a long-awaited rematch with his former NJPW junior heavyweight rival Will Ospreay has been teased.
