Prince Puma Reportedly Turns Down New Lucha Underground Contract

Source: Pro Wrestling Sheet

Prince Puma, aka Ricochet, has reportedly turned down a new contract with Lucha Underground … but it’s still a mystery as to when he’d be allowed to work elsewhere.

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Puma was offered a “lucrative deal” to return to the series following Season 3 but recently made a decision to pass on the offer.

Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed the generous deal was for multiple years — not seasons — but Pro Wrestling Sheet sources were tight lipped on whether Ricochet had accepted the offer or not.

It’s presently not known if or when he is planning to sign with another promotion. It is believed, however, that standard Lucha Underground contracts prevent talents from appearing on TV with another promotion until six months after their last appearance in the Temple airs.

Puma’s final match will reportedly air in Summer 2017.

For now, Ricochet is expected to continue working for New Japan Pro Wrestling.

New Japan Pro Wrestling is capitalizing on all of the attention the company is getting after a Best of the Super Juniors match from night six garnered polarizing reactions from fans.

New Japan posted the full Ricochet vs. Will Ospreay match from last week, which featured the two stars going back and forth in an acrobatic, high flying match. Former WCW Champion Vader and several other talents were quick to criticize the two based on a short .gif of the match that surfaced the next day.

William Regal and Shelton Benjamin were a couple of the veteran wrestling names that stood up for Ricochet and Ospreay, putting over the style. Ospreay responded to Vader’s criticism by doing a Vader Bomb the next night.
