According to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer and a recent Tweet issued by Ricochet, the Lucha Underground star known as Prince Puma in the promotion might not be headed to WWE anytime soon despite recent speculation.
Ricochet recently appeared on “The Steve Austin Show”, which you can listen to at this link, and during the appearance Ricochet noted that while one of his goals is to sign with WWE at some point, his immediate goal is to win the NJPW IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.
Ricochet added that while ending up in WWE or NXT is something he wants to do, he has short term goals set for himself which include Lucha Underground and NJPW.
Think i just got some great news. 2017 may just be my best year to date! #NotWWE
