Rules: (Click to expand)
1. Be Civil.
Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.
2. Keep content related to wrestling.
Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.
3. Spoilers.
Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.
4. Vague/Editorialized Title.
Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.
5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.
Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.
6. Banned Source(s).

I have to think this is TKO SOP at this point, given they usually dealt with things in a more timely manner before TKO bought em.
That being said, on to the topic at hand: Fucking good. He's been there a good 6 years, he got his bag, but the last time Ricochet did anything in WWE that was memorable (to me at least) was when he was flipping out of the ring to confront fucking Velveteen Dream.
Doesn't matter to me much where he goes, he'll be fantastic anywhere, but WWE isn't doing anything with him of value at this point.
Also taking bets, who thinks the WWE Speed thing was insulting enough that it was the tipping point in his decision??
Iβd forgotten about him and Velveteen Dream. That was an awesome moment.
I haven't kept up with Speed; did he already lose the belt? I'm sad to see him go, but like you said, they aren't doing enough with him.
spoiler
Per cagematch he lost it 2 days ago to Andrade, the match itself airs this Friday.I do feel a bit bad for him and Samantha given he's going and she's not but not the first relationship where people are apart on the road, they'll be fine. His career needs it.
Thanks for the info! Did they not just draft both of them to the same show to keep them together?
I think so yeah
It does seem to be the TKO way at this point, I think it's a crazy thing considering so many signed new contracts before and now at least 2, possibly 3 with Natalya have chosen to see what else is out there under this new system, almost like letting them out is good for the workers, but it could be bad for WWE.
I think the Speed title was their incentive to stay, you get to be the inaugural champ of this thing we're doing for a billion dollars, we're going to pump you up on social... what, yeah you can be on RAW, 50-50 booking though... I think WWE's under utilization of workers, and this possibly being the first time his contract is up with AEW around probably played more into it.
