RAW Takes Care of a Little Business Before Clash at the Castle...

How’s It Going, Enthusiasts?

 

It’s another Monday evening and I got some things to contemplate but that’s neither here nor there. We’ve got some other news to discuss don’t we. Let’s get into it.

 

So, it’s pretty much general consensus that tonight is Ricochet’s last night with WWE. Apparently, an agreement couldn’t be reached for his new contract and so, the decision has been made to part ways. Word is that Ricochet will probably be smashed to bits by Bron Breakker to write him off TV but we’ll see how they do him.

 

We must also remember that this is go home week for Clash at the Castle. SmackDown will be taped in Scotland so this is the final show stateside before the big show. Not much is formally advertised for tonight. Yet we can expect, Iyo Sky to get some payback for losing out on Queen of the Ring against Lyra Valkyria. Sami Zayn will see if he can get Otis to return to the light. Ilja Dragonov will demonstrate how a smaller guy is supposed to handle a guy like Breakker. And Drew McIntyre will stroll in eventually to hype up his match against Damian Priest on Saturday.

 

Haven’t see any spoilers on Ricochet yet but I hope this new chapter helps him find what he’s looking for. If he's actually leaving, I’m sure the likes of AEW would love to have him but I’m not sure if it solves the problem of presentability. Ricochet is a skilled high-flyer but does he entertain? I would suggest New Japan to be honest. The language barrier could work in his favor as that fanbase may be more taken by his genuine prowess. We’ll take a good time over skill any day. Ideally, you want both but we tend to settle. We’ll forgive some shoddy wrestling for some solid charisma.

 

All in all, I expect Ricochet to return when he sees what the market is like. Sure, he can get more praise and attention from a smaller promotion, but does it really mean he’s doing better? I’m never going to say that WWE is the only place a wrestler can be happy but you can definitely say you made it when you’re there, is all. Unofficial watch party starts at 8pm PDT. Choose your platform and play along if you’re willing.

 

 

See You in a Bit,
