Ricochet has revealed his next major goal in AEW after his loss last weekend at Revolution. He now wants to win another major title, and his campaign will start this weekend.

At the pay-per-view, Swerve Strickland got the upper hand in his rematch with the One and Only. This win meant that he finally got his retribution and booked him a ticket to a world title match.

The former WWE high-flyer seemingly moved forward right away following his loss, as he is now targeting the AEW International Championship. Ricochet will be part of the Eliminator Tournament to decide Kenny Omega's challenger at Dynasty next month.

He is set to face Katsuyori Shibata in the first round of the tournament this weekend on Collision. He called out the Japanese star, claiming that despite his reputation, he was giving him a way out from a beating from him this weekend. All he needed to do was not show up.

Apart from the two of them, six other men will be gunning for a chance to face the Best Bout Machine at AEW Dynasty. Tonight, two matches in the tournament will be taking place, with a wildcard set to make a surprise appearance.

About the author

Enzo is a Pro Wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on AEW. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Multimedia Studies, which influenced his decision of taking up sports writing professionally, and has been an avid fan of the athletic theater since childhood. He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
