"Edge, Moxley" - Former WWE star eyeing huge dream matches after arriving in AEW

AEW has welcomed several former WWE Superstars in recent years, with a handful of those talent acquisitions taking place this year. As the roster expands, the door is now open for Tony Khan to book more dream matches. One veteran talent has just named multiple top stars he's ready to lock up within All Elite Wrestling.

Ricochet is gaining momentum in AEW after debuting in late August at All In during the Casino Gauntlet match. After failing to defeat Will Ospreasy for the International Champion, the former WWE star continues to chase The Don Callis Family and Konosuke Takeshita, who won the title at WrestleDream in a Three Way match against Ospreay and The One and Only. A potential role with The Hurt Syndicate was recently teased, but it remains to be seen if there will be new members, especially Ricochet, this early.

Speaking on a recent episode of INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, the 21-year industry veteran was asked about dream opponents now that he's All Elite. WWE's inaugural Speed Champion named Adam Copeland fka Edge, Jon Moxley, Swerve Strickland, and MJF, but reiterated how he's not done re-visiting the history with The Aerial Assassin.

"Edge, Moxley, Swerve. I've had Swerve in the indies, but never in AEW. Obviously MJF, there's still mad opportunities right now. But again, like I said, I just got here. I literally just got here. But I've been excited with the stories that we've been telling so far, because I know people kind of just watch weekly and they only see what happens weekly," Ricochet said.

The former WWE Intercontinental Champion continued:

"But if you really look at the story of Ricochet and Ospreay since I first got here with the family, and if you look at what we've been telling, there's so much story there. But again, I think people choose to see what they want to see and stuff, and that's fine, but I've really been so happy and so proud with what we've been doing."

Ricochet is rumored to get a new manager soon in Samantha Irvin, following her recent WWE release. The former American Idol contestant announced her departure on October 21 after leaving due to differences over her potential future roles with the company.
