On the surface, Ricochet doesn't appear to be the strongest candidate to leave WWE considering his fiancée—Raw announcer Samantha Irvin—works there as well and there have been no recent indications he's unhappy with his lot in the company.

However, the 35-year-old could have a career-altering decision to make this year that sees him explore other options and potentially join AEW.

Per Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Jeremy Lambert of Fightful) in January 2021, Ricochet's WWE deal is set to expire this summer. He's enjoyed some success on the main roster since 2019 as a United States and intercontinental champion, but by and large, he hasn't been handled as well as some would've hoped.

There was a time when he was one of the hottest commodities in wrestling because of the amazing feats he was capable of inside the squared circle. These days, he's ice-cold and hasn't wrestled a televised match since Nov. 6.

Although he's been booked better under Triple H than Vince McMahon, he may feel like much more of an attraction than he does. Of course, AEW already employs its fair share of aerial artists, but the change of scenery for Ricochet could do wonders, not to mention the many thrilling matches that would stem from such a move.
