Ricochet reveals one major reason why he doesn't wrestle on indies like Jon Moxley or Mercedes Mone
Ricochet recently gave a surprising reason why he does not compete in independent wrestling events, unlike fellow AEW stars Jon Moxley and Mercedes Mone.
Moxley and Mone continue to be active on the independent circuit. AEW World Champion Moxley has competed in promotions like NJPW and CMLL. Meanwhile, Mone, who holds the TBS championship, recently made a surprise appearance in Vienna, Austria, capturing the EWA Women's Championship at EWA Prater Catchen 2025.
In response to a user's query on X about why more AEW stars don't wrestle on the independent circuit, Ricochet replied:
"No one can afford my fee."
The shrewd remark reflects the 36-year-old's heel persona in AEW.
Meanwhile, the true king's transformation from an acrobatic baby face to a cold heel has been well-received, with fans appreciating the depth and authenticity he brings to his performances.
Ricochet recently revealed the background behind his heel persona in AEW
Ricochet recently confessed about the origin of his current heel persona, revealing that the character fans see on screen is not an act but a reflection of who he is in real life.
In a recent interview on K104, the 36-year-old shared a candid confession about his transformation, stating:
“Uh, that’s the thing. It’s like I’m not playing anything. I’m kind of just being myself. "
The True King also made it clear that he’s not concerned about how fans perceive him.
"Whether people like it or not, that’s up to how they choose to live their lives. If they want to choose to, then be disgruntled and be angry for the rest of the day, that’s on them. If they want to choose to take it as entertainment and take it for what it is, then that’s on them.”Said Ricochet [H/T: Ringside News]
