Tony Khan makes a huge announcement regarding AEW star Ricochet
Ricochet has been announced for a major match at an upcoming event by AEW President Tony Khan. TK also revealed an interesting stipulation for the bout, which could make it brutal.
Last Wednesday on AEW Dynamite, Ricochet squared off against former WWE star Zach Gowen. Despite the latter's valiant efforts, Ricochet managed to secure the win at the end of an incredible match, with fans totally behind Zach. The Future of Flight continued the assault on Gowen to double down on his heel persona.
Nevertheless, Mark Briscoe came to the aid of Zach Gowen and chased Ricochet out of the ring. Later, Briscoe challenged the former WWE Superstar to a stretcher match to settle their feud. Now, Tony Khan has made the match official.
The All Elite President took to X/Twitter to announce that Ricochet and Mark Briscoe will face off in a stretcher match at the Double or Nothing 2025 pay-per-view:
