What does AEW have going for it that makes the audience gravitate towards it? The sheer quality of their matches is quite exemplary indeed. Even though WWE probably has a better roster at the moment, the wrestlers wrestle a watered down style that often pales as compared to the non-WWE style.
This disparity is also evident between NXT and the WWE main roster. However, two performers who are the caliber of Ricochet and Samoa Joe can potentially put on a contest for the ages, even within WWE's restrictions. And this is why Ricochet was chosen as the prime choice from among the contenders in the said match.

Ricochet also comes into the match as the underdog as has been discussed. And this makes him the clear-cut babyface in the David vs. Goliath contest at WWE Stomping Grounds.
