back in July, Ricochet said ꦡhe still had unfinished business in NJPW.

"I really want to be IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion," Ricochet said on the podcast. "I've challenged for it twice💧 and I've yet to win, but I want to do that. There [are] a couple of things I want to do. Now my goal, I would like 💝to be in the WWE one day. NXT, wherever, but there [are] still a couple of things I want to do. Like, Lucha [Underground]'s still going really well. It's still going really great."

Ricoch🐎et added, "so there's really not a goal. Just, I guess, have fun, be safe, save as much money as I can. That's because I've got a seven-year-old son right now, so I'm trying to save up for his future. So, I think that's mostly the goal right now."

Ricochet won New Japan's Best of the Super Juniors𒀰 tournament in 2014, and teamed with Matt Sydal to win the Super Junior Tag Tournament last year. In addition to currently holding the NEVER six man titles, Ricochet also is a former two-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag champion ✃with Sydal. He looks to go for a third reign as the juniors tag champs; he and Finlay challenged the current champs, the Young Bucks, to a title match at the Destruction in Kobe event.

As Prince Puma, he also became the first Lucha Underground He🌄avyweight Champion.
