• On this week’s RAW, Bron Breakker violently threw Ricochet into a WWE production truck and smashed him through a car windshield. He was then taken to a hospital.
WWE has now provided the following update on Ricochet:
“BREAKING: After suffering a brutal attack at the hands of Bron Breakker this past Monday on RAW, Ricochet will be out of action for an undisclosed amount of time with upper body injuries.”
As we noted earlier, PWInsider reports that there’s a possibility Ricochet might return for one final appearance. With his contract set to expire in July, and given the significant attention his departure has garnered, WWE is considering capitalizing on the situation.
There was talk backstage on Monday about a creative pitch to bring him back for another show.
