“I feel Ricochet is a kind of guys who’d match into someplace like AEW,” Booker mentioned. “When he goes into the ring, he’s gonna be in search of a five-star match … I simply suppose that is his mentality, to exit and carry out, and carry out at that highest stage that he probably can and go on the market and create some magic in the midst of the ring.” Given Ricochet’s historical past with Will Ospreay abroad, it is affordable to imagine Tony Khan may need to recreate that magic underneath his personal banner. Signing Ricochet for a marquee match throughout All In at Wembley Stadium in August stays a chance, though each events have remained quiet about any negotiations which have taken place.
