"Another reason for Miro, Ricky, and Wardlow to leave," "Enjoy catering" - Fans react to reports of former WWE star potentially heading to AEW

WWE is enjoying one of its most popular eras in decades, but that doesn't mean that everyone under the Stamford-based company's umbrella is happy. Recent reports have indicated that a former WWE star is potentially headed to AEW, and fans have chimed in on the matter.

Ricochet has been a part of the WWE roster for several years now. He started his tenure in NXT, where he left the audience in awe with his fast-paced offense. His impressive performances led him to receive a main roster call-up, but his time on the big stage was an up-and-down affair. Although Ricochet won the Intercontinental Championship, his career took a downturn after he lost the title. He even struggled to pick up any notable wins in recent months.

Ricochet's inability to regain the Intercontinental Championship after numerous chances lost him a lot of the traction he had gained down in NXT. As a result of this lackluster booking, the One and Only opted not to renew his contract when the time came. This has since fueled speculation that he could be headed to AEW.

Recent reports also suggested that his contract in the Stamford-based promotion was up, and he is expected to join All Elite Wrestling.

Since this news broke out, fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the topic. Check out some of their reactions below:

AEW star Will Ospreay is in touch with former WWE Superstar Ricochet

Will Ospreay and Ricochet have incredible in-ring chemistry together. These two faced each other a couple of times before Ricochet joined WWE and have put on stellar matches. Given their in-ring chemistry, it should come as no surprise that the two men are friends outside the ring.

During a recent interview with Shak Wrestling, Will Ospreay admitted that he is in touch with the former WWE star. However, they haven't discussed the possibility of him coming to AEW.

"Honestly, so I've said this to a lot of people recently. I've been shouting his name off in the distance for years and I really do mean years. And it's only now, just because his contract is coming up, people are thinking something's gonna happen. Listen, I speak to Ricochet every now and then. There's nothing been said between us about whether something is gonna pop off, but like honestly, I hope he does," Ospreay said.

It will be interesting to see when Ricochet will finally make his debut for All Elite Wrestling.
