Will Ospreay Calls Out Ricochet Following AEW Signing Report: "We're Coming Back Together Again."

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of wrestling fandom under my belt, the news of Ricochet joining AEW has sent waves of exhilaration coursing through me! The prospect of witnessing the Aerial Assassin square off against his longtime rival, Will Ospreay, is almost too good to be true.


It’s been confirmed that Ricochet has joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW) following a multi-year contract. According to Fightful Select, he might debut as soon as this Sunday at AEW ALL IN: London. The discussion about Ricochet’s future in wrestling started when Will Ospreay suggested that Ricochet should believe in himself more during an interview with ComicBook back in May. After this, Ricochet officially left WWE and was taken off air come June.

Given that Ricochet left WWE not long after Ospreay made his comments, there has been much anticipation that these two may face off again sooner rather than later, reviving their intense rivalry from the mid-2010s in the independent wrestling scene.

The Aerial Assassin has a hidden blade with Ricochet’s name on it.

Prior to the upcoming AEW ALL IN: London event, Will Ospreay shared thoughts with talkSPORT regarding his past with Ricochet and hinted at future plans against his former adversary.

“That entire wrestling bout significantly shifted my perspective about wrestling. It altered my performance and the way people perceived me,” Ospreay explained. “However, his return feels like one of those instances where we did that match, then went our separate ways, and now we’re reuniting once more.”

Currently, it feels as though this moment belongs to him. This moment presents an opportunity for him to prove himself to the world. Simply observe the current generation of wrestlers and the trend in professional athletic wrestling. He’s the one who set the precedent, and all he needs to do is rekindle that inner passion because he knows he has the ability. I genuinely believe that he’s been underestimated for far too long, to the point where people have forgotten about the extraordinary athlete that he is.

In a recent turn of events, Ospreay subtly inquired about Ricochet’s involvement in AEW, hinting at a potential return, and expressed his excitement for the possibility of facing Ricochet in the wrestling ring.

If the rumors are true and he’s joining AEW, let me make it clear who you are, mate. You were undeniably the best, from Dragon Gate to PWG, and everywhere in between. The indies couldn’t touch you, and no one could match your skill around the world. I’m challenging you, buddy. I’m urging you to remind everyone of your greatness. You were one of the best to ever step into the ring, and if I believe it, then you should too.

As a long-time fan of professional wrestling and someone who has followed AEW closely since its inception, I am thrilled to see Ospreay challenging MJF for the AEW American Championship at AEW ALL IN: London this Sunday, August 25th. This is a match I’ve been eagerly anticipating, as both wrestlers have shown incredible skill and charisma in the ring. Having grown up watching wrestling legends like Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels, it’s exciting to see young talents like Ospreay and MJF carrying on the tradition of great storytelling and athleticism that has made this sport so beloved. I can’t wait to see who will emerge victorious in this highly-anticipated match. #AEWALLIN #OspreayvsMJF #AEWAmericanChampionship
