Ricochet Leaves WWE for AEW Debut

Ricochet, a former WWE star, officially joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in August 2024, making his debut at AEW All In in London. Before leaving WWE, he had a tumultuous tenure, experiencing both championship successes and frustrations, including a moment in 2022 when he expressed a desire to quit to executive John Laurinaitis, which ironically led to him winning the Intercontinental Championship soon after. Reflecting on his career, Ricochet admitted that had AEW existed in 2018, he would have likely chosen to sign with them instead of WWE, where he felt he was often underutilized. His surprise debut at Wembley Stadium was met with enthusiasm, showcasing the excitement surrounding his new direction in wrestling. Ricochet is now focused on competing in AEW's dynamic environment, where he believes he can thrive and connects more with his wrestling style. Fans are particularly eager for a potential rematch between Ricochet and his rival Will Ospreay, which promises to be a highlight of his AEW career.
