      absolutely! they pulled ALL stops. from his first shot all the way to the end of the show. he was the main focus. NO ONE forgot about Bron but HE was the focus. Bron was more focus during the match imo. i know bron was working him but weve seen him do this we EXPECT this from him. they're building him good as well. this wasn't a build for him imo. rn this is the REGULAR for him. bron is going to destroy whoever, whenever, wherever! these backstage clashes are crazy. cody on smackdown. now this! keep it up.

      They could have just had Bron attack him backstage like he did before it's no reason to involve him in this angle if he was leaving 2nd they didn't have to have Sam on cam they could have just told us she left to go to the hospital with him in my opinion if he is leaving non of this makes sense plus I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be able to be on AEW TV until next year or so ....but I think wwe is working us all

    Part of me is leaning towards him staying as WWE has gotten really good at all of these "leaks" lately and all these contracts expiring and turning it to their advantage. I will say this Bron Breaker and Dragonov put on a great hard hitting match and then after it just seemed relentless how vicious they want Bron Breaker to look. If it is Ricochet's last thing in WWE for a while he goes out making someone look like a total badass but the whole Samantha Irvin focus after suggests that it could be leading to a big return for him down the line to seek revenge.

      Ricochet has never been irreplaceable. Yes, he can do a ton of flips and dives, but there are a bunch of ppl who can do the same thing. Edge was far more valuable and more accomplished, and WWE let him walk. The problem with wrestling fans is that they only look at talent. Ricochet wasn't charismatic and didn't connect with the crowd well enough for them to care about him. Samantha was more over than him, and she's just an announcer.

      I will say as one counter point, they could have decided to still do the best down but instead of showing him being carted into the ambulance with her at his side, simply made an announcement from a commentary cut away, allowing for fans to have a more definitive disconnection point.
      As it stands fans will absolutely be invest in this story and ricochet, and while that isn’t to say that he is definitely staying with wwe, I could see this being an attempt to buy him over by setting him up for a big storyline where in if he chooses to come back he will have momentum behind him, but if he chooses to leave well he was effectively written off.

    I think Ricochet leaving is a work. They cannot follow up with Ricochet’s injury angle with Samantha hoping on the ambulance. The only way it would work really is if she was leaving too, which won’t happen. My guess is that Ricochet will just go onto free agency, take a hiatus, and return at Money in the Bank or a week or two before it to get payback on Breaker which will set up their PPV match. What will the reaction and the promos Breaker will going to give if he shows up at AEW or elsewhere? I ran your fiancé out of this company, and he is a coward for leaving? It would be anti-climatic. And not hero like. The story is there. Lets hope its right. Spot on analysis by Bubba.

    It's always cool to hear Bully say it: In AEW, the action is "balls to the walls", in the context of his comments about what he thinks Ricochet will have to do there to get over. Now, in full AEW mark mode, I will say that this is why I prefer AEW overall - the promotion that really puts on Total Non-Stop Action (pun intended). Yeah, you need stories and character development. Kudos to WWE for doing that very well, but I'm one of the niche market that still pops more for the graps, spot-fu, balls-to-the-walls, sh-t show. No problem with that. It's a preference.

    Bully hit it on the head. I been telling folks on SquaredCircle. Not even just the Samantha situation, think of Xia Li, Cameron Grimes etc that batch of releases. The last match was just that, a last match. If they had left it from the Bronn interference after the match from the previous week - then I'd be more willing to entertain the rumors. But even without Samantha, they introduced a building dynamic with Ilja and building a feud with Bronn. Already, and more so with Samantha in the mix, Its not a send off, its a new angle.
    The company's been real savvy with how they play wjth the dynamics of the reports too - what if they had Ricochet acknowledge that his contract was running up to stir the pot with the possibility of him leaving and ultimately getting interest and getting more eyes invested into this new angle being set up? No one's sure until things pan out - but this feels more so the situation with how things have shown to be.

Now this also gives Ricochet the opportunity to work on his promos like finding a promo style that he's most comfortable in. I'm telling you the only thing holding him back is his mic work.

They acknowledged the relationship there (might have been the first time), and Ricochet did a total hulk-up as a result. Like hulked up enough he could've killed Bron if they'd done that, like it was Popeye's spinach. :)

    Up until that segment on Raw, I thought Ricochet was definitely going to AEW, but I think his best option is to negociate a better deal with WWE with this newfound publicity of both that segment and the potential of him going to AEW looming over WWE's head, I think that despite the chances of him being involved in more main events in AEW and probably being a slightly bigger fish there than he would in WWE, this is a great opportunity for him to grow more interest, long-term from the fans as a WWE wrestler than being a slightly bigger fish in AEW before interest in him will die completely within a month, it's a risk worth taking.

    The reports started saying oh monday will be his last date, but we don't know when the contract really ends.
    Or maybe he did sign a short term extension to do this feud and see if he wants to resign with the wwe long term.

    Before I talk about Ricochet, I just want to say this...
    Bully has been getting a ton of hate for his comments in this video.
    I just don't understand why AEW fans think he's always talking shit on that company.
    Bully is as fair as it gets and will critique the negatives of any company. He has the right to do that as a fan and as a veteran of the business.
    Now about Ricochet.
    There's a good chance he's leaving but AEW isn't the place for him. I believe he'll be great in TNA. He could be the face of their X-Division or even be a World Champion. In AEW he would struggle finding a permanent spot on the card after he feuds with Will Ospreay. I don't think there's much for him in AEW.
    Now if he stays in WWE we could finally get a real story with him. Maybe the story with Bron will elevate him and make them love him even more. In all honesty Ricochet could get championship matches in WWE and no I'm not just talking about mid-card championships. Let's be real here, WWE has Damien Priest as World Champion. Does anyone think he's worthy of that championship? Ricochet could surprise people and became so over that WWE would have to give him something like a MITB win.

I just don't see him leaving cause he won't be treated any different anywhere else. With all thes smaller wrestlers, they need to get rid of that speed title bring back either te Cruiserweight Title or Light Heavyweight Title. They keeping it hush hush like they been doing and putting out bullshit for awhile now. Ricochet isn't going anywhere. I think he comes back as a different character, maybe Prince Puma.
