Noël Allaly (born 14 December 2004)[2] better known by his ring name Ricky Sosa, is a Dutch-born Belgian professional wrestler working as a freelancer, best known for his tenure with Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw), where he is the current wXw European Champion in his first reign. He also works for other promotions in the European independent circuit such as Legion Wrestling, where he is the current Legion Industrial Champion.[3]

Sosa gained international viral fame through his entrance, which features the 2014 French rap track "Sosa" by 40000 Gang.[4]

Professional wrestling career

European independent circuit (2021–present)

Allaly began his training in 2021 and was trained by Caiman Jr. and Shaolin Simba in Belgium. He also trained at the PWH Academy.[5] He made his debut on 6 November 2021, originally competing under the ring name Ricky Star before transitioning to Ricky Sosa.[1] In 2023, Sosa co-founded the stable Top Dawgs Family alongside Mecca, A-Buck, and Christianium Le Surrealiste.[6]

Sosa won his first professional title on 31 May 2024, defeating Scotty Valentine for the PWH Television Championship at Pro Wrestling Holland's (PWH) "Market Kabaal" event.[7][8] On 20 October, Sosa and Top Dawgs Family stablemate Mecca captured the APC Tag Team Championship from Niouks (Cosmik Ben and Ravage) at the Association les Professionnels du Catch's (APC) "International Control" event.[9] In subsequent years, Sosa became the inaugural holder of the Legion Industrial Championship in 2025 and the KHAO Championship in 2026.[10][11]

At Progress Chapter 188: Unboxing VIII: The Search For Socks on 28 December 2025, Sosa fell short to Tommy Tanner in singles competition.[12]

Westside Xtreme Wrestling (2025–present)

Sosa debuted in Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw) at wXw Extreme Wrestling Party on 26 September 2025, in a losing effort against Zoltan.[13] At the wXw 25th Anniversary event on 13 December, Sosa defeated Zoltan and Joseph Fenech Jr. in a three-way match to win the vacant wXw European Championship.[14][15] In early 2026, Sosa defeated WWE ID Champion Cappuccino Jones in a non-title match at "We Love Wrestling 72," though he failed to capture the title in a rematch the following day.[16][17] Though originally scheduled for the 16 Carat Gold Tournament in March 2026, Sosa withdrew to pursue a "major career opportunity," which was later revealed to be his scheduled matches in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.[18][19][20]

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2026–present)

On 5 March 2026, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) announced that Sosa would debut for the promotion during their events in Atlanta, Georgia.[21] In his televised debut on the 12 March episode of Thursday Night Impact!, Sosa defeated Brad Attitude.[22]

Game Changer Wrestling (2026–present)

Sosa made his Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) debut on 25 January 2025, winning a four-way match against Aigle Blanc, Alec Price, and Ariel Van Go.[23] On 27 February 2026, GCW confirmed Sosa as a participant for the Immortal Clusterfuck match, scheduled for April 18 as part of the Joey Janela's Spring Break series.[24][25]
