On a recent edition of the “Battleground” podcast, AEW wrestler Ricochet looked back on his time in Lucha Underground portraying Prince Puma and explained why he doesn’t plan on reprising that character.
Ricochet debuted in AEW last month at AEW All In London 2024 at Wembley Stadium, competing in the Casino Gauntlet Match. He picked up a win on last night’s episode of AEW Dynamite in Lexington, beating Sammy Guevara.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On if a return is possible for Prince Puma: “People keep asking, but they own that character. So I guess if [someone] wanted to contact Lucha [Underground] and try to get the rights to use the [character] — I guess, maybe. But that’s all their stuff.”
On his time in Lucha Underground: “It was a great moment in time. I think what we were doing is awesome. … They were trying to make it different. They were trying to be a TV drama about a wrestling company, and not just another wrestling company on television.”
Ricochet also appeared on the “The Babyfaces Podcast” to discuss his AEW signing.
The former WWE Superstar said, “I think that’s kind of the thing with AEW right now, the freshness, the newness, the ‘what ifs.’ It’s so new, there’s so much out there to be done, both in matches and stories. I’m just the new guy ready to make a splash. So I just — I want to do everything that I can. To help them grow, and again, being so new, they’ve already did so much growing. They’ve already grown so much within the five years that they’ve already been going.”
