Top Lucha Underground Star Reportedly Finished with the Company, Is He Headed to WWE?

June 28, 2016

According to F4WOnline.com, Ricochet, better known in Lucha Underground as Prince Puma, is finished with LU. Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Puma finished up with LU at the last set of TV tapings, which carries the company through season three of the show. As of now, Puma is finished with the company, but things could change if and when LU tapes a fourth season.

As for speculation that Ricochet could end up in WWE, that could happen, but not for quite awhile as his Lucha Underground contract will not allow it. Typically, talents who have taped TV for LU cannot work for other televised promotions until all of the content they have filmed has aired.

Ricochet is taking indy bookings through the fall, and then plans to work New Japan Pro Wrestling dates in the winter. As for WWE, Meltzer said it could happen, but likely won’t be until 2017.
