As an avid wrestling fan with over two decades of fandom under my belt, I must say that this latest development in the world of AEW has me absolutely thrilled! The arrival of Ricochet, a man whose agility and showmanship have graced countless rings, is truly a sight to behold.
Over the weekend, the former WWE sensation, Ricochet, made his first appearance at AEW All In, held in London’s Wembley Stadium. Since the termination of his WWE contract in July, Ricochet has been a free agent. Prior to his contract ending in June, WWE had taken him off television.
This sparked rumors that he might team up with AEW. Previous reports indicated that he had indeed inked a deal with Tony Khan’s organization ahead of AEW All In. The audience anticipated his appearance at Wembley Stadium.

At the All In event, Ricochet first appeared with AEW during the Casino Gauntlet bout. It was then revealed by President Tony Khan that Ricochet had joined the organization officially. Despite not securing a chance to challenge for the World title in the Gauntlet, Ricochet left a strong impact. Christian Cage emerged victorious from the Gauntlet, enabling him to face the newly crowned AEW World Champion, Bryan Danielson, at any given moment.
As a gamer, I’ve been eagerly awaiting to know who my first opponent would be in AEW. Now, it’s official! On the upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite, I’ll be stepping into the ring for the very first time against Kyle Fletcher. This exciting encounter is set to take place at the State Farm Center in Champaign, IL this Wednesday. Can’t wait to see you there!

Following Ricochet’s first appearance, Don Callis voiced his displeasure over the ex-WWE star joining All Elite Wrestling. Callis issued a challenge to Ricochet for a match against Kyle Fletcher, sparking a heated online conversation between the two on Twitter. Excitement built among fans for a potential matchup between Fletcher and Ricochet, but no formal announcement was made until now. It has been officially confirmed that Ricochet will square off with Fletcher during the August 28 episode of Dynamite.
This Wednesday in Champaign, IL, tune into TBS at 8pm ET/7pm CT for an electrifying Dynamite debut!

With his first match approaching in Tony Khan’s promotion, it’ll be intriguing to witness if the ex-WWE star encounters his old foe, Will Ospreay. At All In, Ospreay retook the International Championship by vanquishing MJF. Due to their lengthy past from their independent wrestling era, spectators are thrilled at the prospect of seeing Ricochet and Ospreay square off once more.
