…Ricochet. It is all but a foregone conclusion that the current PWG World Champion will sign with WWE in 2018. It will be a bigger shock if he doesn’t become a staple of WWE TV next year. In fact, the only real question revolves around his moniker and where he will ply his trade.

If Itami can make a real go of things on 205 Live, don’t be surprised to see Ricochet join him on the cruiserweight show. With those two and Neville at the top of the purple show, the brand could well be in for a special 2018. Imagine a WWE Cruiserweight Championship triple threat match between Ricochet, Hideo Itami and Neville at WrestleMania 34 - the word ‘special’ comes to mind. It would likely be the greatest Kickoff show in WWE history.

Ricochet will join WWE in 2018, and he will be the man to unseat Hideo Itami for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. The few fans who aren’t aware of Prince Puma are in for an absolute treat, and the purple show’s match quality will exponentially improve when he arrives. Look out for Ricochet to be the next independent start turned WWE megastar.
