Former WWE champion shares an interesting post amid rumors of Ricochet's move to AEW
A former WWE Superstar posted an intriguing picture on social media after recent reports emerged about Ricochet signing with AEW. The star being discussed is Matt Sydal. He worked in WWE from 2007 to 2014. He is a former WWE Tag Team Champion.
The Highlight of the Night's contract with WWE reportedly expired in July 2024. He has since been a free agent and fans have been speculating his arrival in the Jacksonville-based promotion since then. He reportedly signed a deal with AEW ahead of All In 2024. However, whether the star would be debuting at All In is still a mystery.
During his time in the independent circuit, he teamed up with Matt Sydal for a brief period. The duo teamed up during their time in NJPW and wrestled many classic matches. Matt signed with AEW in 2020. However, he hasn't been featured on AEW since May 2024.
Recently, The Reborn star took to Instagram and expressed his wish to team up with Ricochet at All In 2025. He also shared a photo of their match with The Young Bucks.
Swerve Strickland comments on the possibility of Ricochet coming to AEW
The Realsest star is ready to take on Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Championship at All In's main event. He recently reacted to rumors of Ricochet coming to the Jackonville-based promotion.
While speaking on the Battleground Podcast, Strickland talked about their previous encounters in other promotions. He also warned The One and Only that the competition in AEW is currently quite strong and advised him of the possible difficulties the star might face upon his arrival.
"I mean, we’ve [Swerve Strickland and Ricochet] had our matches without the masks in MLW. We’ve had Strickland versus Ricochet before. It’s up to him. I don’t know. We’ll see. Competition’s stiff in AEW and there’s also a different type of ladder to climb in a lot of different ways here. It doesn’t necessarily make it easier. It’s difficulties on both sides of things, and you gotta adapt," he said.
It remains to be seen if the former Intercontinental Champion will cross paths with Swerve Strickland in AEW.
