Ricochet, who joined AEW a few months ago, continues to impress fans with his high-flying wrestling style, which perfectly suits the promotion. That being said, he made a bold statement recently as he claimed credit for AEWs formation.
While speaking to 1035 KISSFM, Ricochet was asked if he feels he is a perfect fit for AEW. Ricochet made it clear he feels that he is and added that his work in wrestling helped make AEW possible. He admitted hes not the only reason AEW exists but believes his matches with stars like Will Ospreay, PAC, and AR Fox, as well as his time in promotions like Dragon Gate, PWG, and New Japan Pro Wrestling, played a big part in creating the right environment for AEW to succeed.
Ricochet mentioned that it wasnt just him but also wrestlers like the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and Ospreay who helped shape modern wrestling. Ricochet added that without him, there might not even be a Will Ospreay. He finished by saying that the passion he and others brought to wrestling was key to AEWs success and that he feels like he fits perfectly in the company.
Ricochet also doesnt understand why people criticize his in-ring style, but it is likely fans may not necessarily agree with what Ricochet had to say. Theres no denying that Ricochets style and presence make him a great fit for AEW. However, fans believe his claim about being a reason for AEWs formation might not be entirely accurate.
