Huge twist planned after 4-time WWE champion is barred from joining The Hurt Syndicate? AEW hints explored
The Hurt Syndicate was on the verge of having a new member. Former WWE star Ricochet could have been the fourth member of the faction. But he was barred from the group on Dynamite this week.
This week on the Wednesday night show, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP confronted Ricochet in the ring. The One and Only tried to win them over and secure a spot for himself in the group but they refused to take him in.
This could be a ruse to mislead Swerve Strickland who is in a rivalry with The Hurt Syndicate. Ricochet and The Realest Star had a backstage segment where they took shots at each other. A potential rivalry was also teased.
Although it looked like The Hurt Syndicate wanted nothing to do with Ricochet, the one-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, one-time US Champion, one-time, Speed Chamiopn, and one-time NXT North American Champion is still positive that they would eventually accept him as their team member.
"Ya'll looking at it wrong. That's the homies. They ain't beat me up, did they? They're just looking out for me. They like me," he tweeted.
Therefore, Bobby Lashley and company might be planning to fool The Realest star and make him believe that they have rejected the 36-year-old star, all while they could be planning to take him down with the help of the former WWE Speed Champion.
Former WWE star Ricochet gets trolled by the fans for his backstage segment with Swerve Strickland
Ricochet did a backstage interview with Renee Pauette last night when suddenly the camera panned outwards and Swerve Strickland was standing beside him along with Prince Nana.
Strickland insulted Ricochet by saying he would never become a top star in AEW and would always be considered a mid-card talent. The Future of Flight fired back at the former AEW World Champion by mocking him for his failure in last year's Continental Classics. He then promised to win this year's tournament.
Before he left the place, he laughed at Swerve's face. It was a freakish laugh that made him a subject of public ridicule on social media. Some fans mocked him for his strange laughter while others trolled him for his poor microphone skills.
