(via WrestlingInc.com) that while Ricochet’s status with WWE hasn’t changed, he may still make one last final appearance on WWE programming. As previously noted, it’s rumored that Ricochet has given his notice that he will leaving the company after his current deal expires.

PWInsider Elite reports that a pitch was made by WWE’s creative team for the Superstar to make another appearance on WWE programming. WWE reportedly wants to have another appearance for Ricochet to capitalize on all the attention he’s been receiving this week with news of his contract status and pending exit. It’s unknown what Ricochet would be doing for his final appearance. Last night’s show saw him get attacked by Breakker and slammed on top of a car.

It’s also reportedly noted that Ricochet himself agrees there’s still time to do something else with his character before he officially leaves the company. It’s said to be unclear if WWE higher-ups are entertaining the idea from the creative team. Fightful Select reported earlier today that his contract still hasn’t expired yet. With that it mind, that does appear to make it possible he could make another TV appearance.

It’s also rumored that Ricochet is expected to join AEW next after his WWE deal ends.
