Ricochet threatens to have major backstage confrontation in AEW

Modified Apr 24, 2025 18:44 GMT

Ricochet has been a heel for quite a while now. He recently threatened to have a major backstage confrontation.

The One and Only joined AEW last year. While fans were immediately excited to see him in the company, they quickly turned on him. However, he played into this reaction and slowly turned heel. Since his heel turn, the former WWE star has turned into one of the most entertaining acts on the roster.

This week on Dynamite, the former WWE star competed in a singles match against Mark Briscoe and lost. During the match, the camera caught a moment of Ricochet where a fan behind him held up the sign "bald." AEW posted a GIF of this on its social media account.

The AEW star caught wind of this and threatened to find the person who posted the GIF next week:

"Hey, dumb intern. You don't think I won't find you backstage next week?"

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.
