A top AEW star got into a heated argument with fans online. This happened after WrestleMania 41.

As soon as Ricochet joined AEW, it didn't take long for the fans to turn on him. However, the former WWE star played into this hate and eventually became a heel on TV. As a villain, The One and Only has become one of the most entertaining acts in the Jacksonville-based promotion. He also plays into his role as a heel online.

Recently, fans dug up an old tweet where the former WWE star claimed that he could do anything that IYO SKY did in the ring, but IYO couldn't do everything he did in the ring. After SKY retained the Women's World Title at WrestleMania 41, fans dug up this old post.

The former Intercontinental Champion has been replying to fans regarding this, and recently, he took to social media again to say that WWE fans are mad at him again.

"Oh no! A bunch of WWE nerds are mad at me again! 😱"

AEW star Ricochet hit back at WWE and Nick Khan for recent comments

All Elite Wrestling and WWE have not hesitated to take shots at one another over the years. Recently, Nick Khan referred to the Jacksonville-based promotion as the other wrestling promotional company.

The WWE President said that many AEW talents will leave once their contracts expire. While he didn't acknowledge Tony Khan, he said he had a lot of respect for Tony's father. Ricochet immediately took to social media to fire some shots at his previous employer. He even called them losers.

"Read or listen to the rest of the post. They constantly mention Tony's dad, like some big joke about AEW during their biggest week of the year. They are losers."

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
