Report: Ricochet's WWE contract is set to expire very soon

On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez is reporting that Ricochet's WWE contract is set to expire very soon. Ricochet joined WWE on January 16th, 2018 and it was reported that he had signed a three-year deal with WWE at that time.

As per Alvarez, Ricochet has not yet re-signed his contract which will be up this month. While WWE and Ricochet could come to terms for a new agreement soon, him not re-signing with such a short time remaining in his contract could mean anything.

It should be noted that Ricochet missed Monday Night RAW this week. With the recent COVID-19 outbreak on the main roster, fans started speculating whether everything is fine with him or not. However, it was later reported that Ricochet was present backstage on RAW and was just not used. This was a little surprising as several Superstars pulled double duty on RAW this week.
