AEW star Ricochet Reveals How a Top Star’s Advocacy Made an Impact

As a longtime wrestling enthusiast with decades of memories etched into my mind, the recent developments in the world of professional wrestling have left me absolutely thrilled! The arrival of Ricochet, a former WWE United States Champion, to AEW is a move that has sent shockwaves through the community.


Previously known as the WWE United States Champion Ricochet, recently entered the spotlight at AEW All In, marking a significant new chapter in his career. With his WWE contract concluding in July, he is now an open market talent. Prior to his contract’s expiration, WWE had him written off-screen when Bron Breakker attacked him on television, just before the final curtain fell on their agreement

This sparked rumors that he might be signing up with AEW. Fans eagerly awaited to see him perform at Wembley Stadium, and their hopes were realized when Ricochet officially joined AEW during the Casino Gauntlet Match at All In. Although he didn’t earn a chance for the World title, his performance in the Gauntlet was impressive

After an outstanding first appearance, President Tony Khan declared that Ricochet had formally joined AEW. Last Tuesday, Ricochet squared off against Kyle Fletcher on AEW Dynamite, and in a magnificent display, he secured his singles debut win. Excited fans are now looking forward to seeing what Ricochet will achieve in AEW, given his promising start

Currently, a former WWE star has been reminiscing about a thrilling experience from his time with the WWE. It was especially rewarding for him when AEW Intercontinental Champion Will Ospreay endorsed him even though they were both with WWE at that time

As a die-hard wrestling fan, I can tell you that the fiery rivalry and epic clashes between Ricochet and Will Ospreay are legendary in the world of sports entertainment. Last May, Ricochet claimed the title as the first-ever WWE Speed Champion. This exciting new format, called WWE Speed, was unveiled this year and is available exclusively on X (previously Twitter). It showcases matches with time constraints

In a chat with Comicbook.com back in May, Will Ospreay shared his feelings of dissatisfaction regarding how WWE handles Ricochet. He criticized the company for restricting Ricochet’s ring time to less than five minutes, particularly highlighting the WWE Speed match format as an example of this issue

Recently, during an interview with CBS Sports, the ex-WWE star expressed his delight in seeing Will Ospreay fiercely defend him. He shared, “It’s incredible to witness such passionate advocacy from him. For a while now, Ricochet hasn’t had many chances to speak up for himself. So, it was truly amazing to have my buddy step up and do that for me.”

Since both Ricochet and Will Ospreay are now in the same league, fans can’t wait for a possible match between them. Last week on AEW Dynamite, a highly anticipated encounter between Ricochet and Ospreay was abruptly halted when PAC attacked Ospreay. However, this weekend, Ospreay will battle against PAC at AEW All Out to defend his title
