Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, involving Ricochet and Chad Gable.
• Chad Gable, one of WWE’s standout performers, appears to be staying with the company amidst recent contract expiration rumors. Gable, known for his role as the leader of Alpha Academy and his recent heel turn, has been a key figure on WWE programming.
With his contract reportedly expiring last Friday, there was significant interest from AEW in acquiring Gable. Despite AEW’s legal inability to make an official offer before his WWE contract expired, several influential figures within AEW were actively pushing for Tony Khan to bring Gable into their roster.
However, according to PWInsider, Gable is either extremely close to finalizing a new deal with WWE or has already come to terms. The prevailing belief backstage is that Gable will remain with WWE, especially given the substantial offer he received from the company.
Gable’s recent resurgence in WWE has drawn comparisons to Kurt Angle, highlighting his potential and value to the company. His upcoming match against Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship at the Clash at the Castle Premium Live Event this Saturday in Glasgow, Scotland, further solidifies his prominent position within WWE.

• In anticipation of Ricochet’s exit from WWE, the company has already started implementing creative changes. According to a recent report from Fightful Select, these moves are designed to facilitate his departure smoothly.
One significant step was seen after Friday’s SmackDown, where Ricochet lost the WWE Speed Championship to Andrade. This title change is just the beginning, as WWE is reportedly considering additional strategies to write Ricochet off television if necessary.
Among the proposals being discussed is a storyline on RAW where Bron Breakker would incapacitate Ricochet, providing a decisive exit for the high-flying star.
In an update from PWInsider, current plan is for Ricochet to make his final WWE appearance on tonight’s RAW, as he isn’t scheduled for any more dates after tonight.
