WWE canceled major plans for Ricochet

Ricochet’s tenure in WWE is coming to an end, with the star recently informing the company of his plans to leave. Multiple sources have confirmed Ricochet’s plan to leave once his contract expires in the summer of 2024.

With his contract expiration approaching, Ricochet was written off television on the June 10 episode of WWE Raw. The move prompted comments from MVP, who reflected on Ricochet and the formation of The Hurt Business in 2020.

In a revealing tweet, MVP shared his thoughts on the original plans for The Hurt Business, stating:

“True story. When we were forming The Hurt Business, I asked for both Ricochet AND Cedric Alexander. We were told we could only have one. We chose Cedric because we felt he had more need our association than Ricochet I always thought Ricky O would be a big star on his own.

The Hurt Business, which included MVP, Cedric Alexander, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, became a dominant faction in WWE. However, the stable disbanded in January 2022, with Lashley parting ways with the group and later feuding with Benjamin and Alexander.

Despite hopes of a WWE reunion, The Hurt Business has yet to reform on screen. However, WaleMania during WrestleMania 40 weekend saw the group reunite once again.

As Ricochet prepares to explore new opportunities outside of WWE, his departure marks the end of an important chapter in his career. Fans and colleagues will be closely watching what the future holds for the high-flying superstar.
