Ricochet is one of the most well recognized and high profile talents in the world of professional wrestling with his ability extending far beyond the independent scene.
The 27-year-old has in the past been praised by some top names including The Rock and was ranked at number eight on our list of the top ten non-WWE wrestlers in the world.
His high flying offense and connection with Brit Will Ospreay catapulted him into the spotlight earlier this year and it seems that WWE has taken notice, but how much have an interest do they have?
The future of Ricochet
The young performer currently has the world at his feet, with him currently signed to a number of the world's top promotions but few can resist the temptations if WWE come knocking.
Rumors persist linking the 2014 Battle of Los Angeles winner with a contract under Vince McMahon with NXT his expected destination should he opt in.
However, it remains unlikely that Ricochet, at least for the near future will be going anywhere, as he is currently comfortable in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
His former promotion with whom he ended his contract with this year; Lucha Underground, presented him what was described as a "very good offer" prompting the performer to speak out in a subtle way.
On social media, via his Twitter account, he sent out the following message: "Think I just got some great news. 2017 may just be my best year to date! Not WWE."
This is presumably in reference to the opportunities that have been presented to him, which at this time and according to the man itself are far from the bright lights of WWE.
Other independent wrestlers
Despite being one of the top names in the independent wrestling world, Ricochet is not the only performer linked with a move to WWE.
Tommy End and Roderick Strong are expected to sign deals soon with both men leaving their respective promotions; Westside Xtreme Wrestling and Ring of Honor.
End has or is set to report to the WWE Performance Center this month whereas Strong is still yet to put pen to paper on a deal with the promotion.
