Who is Ricky Sosa?
Born in the Netherlands, Ricky Sosa, 21, is dubbed “The Young Savage.” He is the current wXw European Champion in Germany. A few weeks ago, his entrance started to become viral on social media. People reacted with “WWE needs to sign this guy now” or “best entrance in pro-wrestling.” Some wrestling media put him on the “ones to watch in 2026” list.
Since 2022, Sosa has worked principally in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, the UK, Ireland, and Germany. Earlier this year, he had a chance for the WWE ID title against Cappuccino Jones in the Netherlands. If he failed to become Champion, Sosa made clear WWE was his goal for the future. Sosa said in an interview:
“It was an honor. Like, I had the opportunity to face one time. We wrestled two times, actually, and we had two great matches together. I was so blessed about that, so grateful. It’s like all that works finally pays off. It feels like they kind of know who I am. But, yeah, it was cool. I was so happy about that. We had a great match. He was happy. I’m happy. I’m looking forward to it.”
Elsewhere in the same interview, Ricky Sosa spoke about possibly joining ‘the big leagues’ in WWE, TNA Wrestling, or AEW. He confessed that he is a huge fan of Randy Orton, saying he is the one who inspires him the most, and he would love to compete against him. He also quoted the current X-Division Champion, Leon Slater, as a man he wants to wrestle, as well as MJF, Carmelo Hayes, Swerve Strickland, Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, and Ilya Dragunov.
