Impact News: Negotiations With Ricochet, Alberto, Tessa Blanchard, More

Ricochet

Impact has been in recent negotiations with Ricochet, according to PWInsider.

Ricochet’s US-exclusive deal with Lucha Underground expired after season 3 aired its last episode last week and he is free to go where he wants after a 90 day non-compete clause. He is previously stated that he wants to come to WWE and all indications are that WWE wants to sign him. Definitely can’t blame Impact for trying to sign him though.

Tessa Blanchard

Tessa Blanchard, who competed in the Mae Young Classic, has also had talks with Impact and may actually appear at the next Impact tapings in November.

Alberto El Patron

Alberto El Patron is scheduled to be back at the Bound for Glory PPV on November 5. Impact has discussed a few ideas for how to use him at the show, including adding him to the Eli Drake vs. Johnny Mundo World Championship match or having him work as a referee for that match.

Reno Scum

Reno Scum announced on Friday that they’re no longer with Impact. They were apparently released as a cost-cutting move. They were brought in by Jeff Jarrett but had not been on TV since Adam Thornstowe suffered a torn bicep in April.
