Ricky Sosa update (Patreon)

On the morning of February 27th, the wXw Twitter page announced that wXw European Champion Ricky Sosa would be missing the opening two days (March 6th and March 7th) of their 16 Carat Gold Weekend due to a ‘last minute major opportunity.’ Despite this, Sosa will return to the promotion for the final day of the weekend.

Fightful Select has now learned that Sosa will be appearing at TNA’s upcoming tapings in Atlanta, Georgia next month. We have not learned if he's signed by the company

In speaking with wXw sources about the last minute withdrawal, those we spoke with were nothing but supportive of Sosa’s opportunity, and that it was expected that ‘sooner or later’ opportunity would come calling for Sosa. One wXw source also stated that while Sosa may have gotten a lot of attention for his entrance, he is ‘so much more’ than just that.

Additionally, we were told that wXw are actively working on Sosa’s replacement for the event.
