Ricochet Says He Began Loving Wrestling Again In AEW After WWE Ruined It For Him

Ricochet was one of the names getting buzz on the independent scene before his WWE days because of his incredible matches, and eventually signed with WWE.  Ricochet signed with WWE in 2018 and initially made waves in NXT.

After WrestleMania 35, he moved to the main roster (Raw/SmackDown) and found success, including runs as United States and Intercontinental Champion. However, fans felt he deserved a better push. He opted to leave WWE in June 2024 and signed with AEW.

He debuted at AEW All In in London in August 2024, participating in the Casino Gauntlet match. In a response to a fan on Twitter, Ricochet clarified that the main reason he left WWE for AEW was due to WWE running his love and passion for wrestling.
