After months of rumors that he was bound for WWE, it was announced by the company on Jan. 16 that Ricochet had signed a contract and reported to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. He wrestled his final independent match for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla on Jan. 12.

Ricochet was shown sitting in the front row at TakeOver: Philadelphia last Saturday night. Candice LeRae, War Machine, and EC3 were all shown as well.

NXT is in Atlanta tonight for the second straight night of television tapings. They’ll return to Full Sail University on Mar. 7 for the final tapings before TakeOver: New Orleans.
