Ricochet's Leap from WWE to AEW: A New Era in Professional Wrestling

Ricochet's Journey: From WWE to AEW

The WWE is often seen as the pinnacle of professional wrestling. However, given the nature of the company, only one person can be on top. Because of this, multiple fan-favorite wrestlers are regulated to middle card or lower card positions despite their immense talents. Fortunately, many of these wrestlers have gone on to have fruitful careers in other promotions.

AEW: The Perfect Stage for Ricochet

All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has served as the perfect place for these superstars to come out on top. Many former WWE stars, including Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Swerve Strickland, Toni Storm, and Pac, have received newfound respect and created iconic matches that will stand the test of time. After AEW All-In 2024, Ricochet's name can be added to that list.

• Greatest High Flyer: Ricochet has proven to be charismatic and unbelievably athletic in every promotion he's been in.
• WWE Titles: He held multiple titles, including the WWE Intercontinental Championship, the WWE United States Championship, and the NXT North American Championship.
• Unleashed Potential: Despite his success, he wasn’t given the opportunity to truly shine in WWE.

Support from Legends

After being released from his WWE contract, Ricochet has found a new home in AEW, and a WWE Hall of Famer thinks this transition is ideal. On his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T expressed strong support for the former Prince Puma’s journey to AEW.
