Massive name finally coming to AEW - Reports
A recent report has shed light on the potential next blockbuster AEW signing, that could leave the wrestling world abuzz. If the rumors are to be believed, Ricochet is on his way to the company, and it was also noted that his agent was present backstage at this week's Beach Break special episode of Dynamite.
The former United States Champion has been removed from WWE's active roster page after weeks of speculation about his future in the company. As expected, since then Ricochet's potential arrival in All Elite Wrestling has been a major point of discussion among fans. Now, Fightful Select's latest report has also revealed that the 35-year-old is indeed on his way to joining Tony Khan's promotion.
Furthermore, the report has also disclosed that Ricochet's agent was backstage at this week's AEW Dynamite. While it remains to be seen when his arrival at the Jacksonville-based promotion materializes, it's safe to assume he will receive a thunderous pop from the crowd.
Booker T thinks Ricochet would shine in AEW
On a recent episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T spoke about Ricochet's shocking departure from WWE and what it could mean for his future. The WCW legend believes a performer of Ricochet's caliber would shine in All Elite Wrestling if he were to take his talents to the company.
"I think Ricochet is one of those guys who'd fit into somewhere like AEW. When he goes into the ring, he is gonna be looking for a five-star match ... I just think that's his mentality, to go out and perform, and perform at that highest level that he possibly can and go out there and create some magic in the middle of the ring," Booker T said.
There is an endless list of dream matches for the former WWE Intercontinental Champion in Tony Khan's promotion, with the most anticipated of them being a rematch against his old foe, Will Ospreay.
