Top Indie Wrestling Name & Mae Young Classic Star Reportedly in Talks w/ Impact Wrestling

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, there have been recent negotiations between Impact Wrestling and top independent wrestling star Ricochet. At this point we don’t know how those talks went or even if he’d be legally able to appear for them at this point; all that’s being reported is that they’ve had conversations.

The issue with Ricochet is that he’s not only a big star in the juniors division with New Japan Pro Wrestling, but a vital part of Lucha Underground as the masked character Prince Puma. According to multiple sources his contract with LU expires in January and he’s been looking for a new home, as the company hasn’t held a taping since summer 2016.

Johnson is also reporting that Impact is very interested in Tessa Blanchard, who was one of the most popular names in the Mae Young Classic and is currently the champion for at least five different indie promotions including Shimmer and WrestleCircus. One source reportedly told PWInsider that she could be starting as quickly as the Impact Wrestling television tapings after Bound For Glory.

It may be worth pointing out that Ricochet and Blanchard have been in a dating relationship for quite some time.
