In the narrative built around Monday Night RAW, Ricochet’s exit from the event was necessitated by an assault from Bron Breakker. Following the end of RAW, WWE promptly took to social media to inform the fans about his health status.
As a quick run-through, the rivalry involving Breakker, Ricochet, and Ilja Dragunov intensified on Monday night when Breakker overpowered Dragunov in a wrestling bout. This culminated in Breakker inflicting such high levels of harm on The Mad Dragon that Ricochet had to intervene and shield Dragunov while attempting to escort him backstage.
In response, Breakker reinitiated his violent spree, targeting Dragunov with a spear before powerslamming Ricochet onto the windshield and bonnet of a car.
Following the brutal assault, Ricochet was moved out of the venue via a medical evacuation vehicle, with his fiancée, ring announcer Samantha Irvin, by his side. Also, noteworthy was the absence of RAW General Manager Adam Pearce, as revealed by Michael Cole, leaving Breakker without any checks or balances.

With Samatha’s absence, Pat McAfee stepped in to declare the main event between Drew McIntyre and Finn Balor, lacing the proclamation with his unique panache.
A swirl of rumors and insinuations suggest that Ricochet may be on the brink of exiting WWE. Given the company’s history, some believe this incident may have been masterminded as a plot device to lead up to his departure. Although unconfirmed, the vague narrative progression since RAW’s conclusion might be hinting at something.
Author’s POV: Chronically underutilized talent, contract nearing its end, and the increasing buzz about their departure often results in a release from WWE. This plot twist had enough shock value to serve as a fitting farewell, assuming that Ricochet is slated to leave. The lack of plot development in the next episode of RAW will likely indicate the end of Ricochet’s time in WWE.
