Former WWE and current AEW star Ricochet was recently interviewed on “The Hot Tag” podcast. Ricochet was a big name on the independent scene before joining WWE due of his spectacular matches, and his series of clashes with Will Ospreay drew a lot of attention from fans.

It’s me, it’s The Young Bucks, it’s Kenny Omega, it’s Ospreay, it’s everybody but I’m just saying. Without Ricochet, there would be no Ospreay really. All of the guys are passionate. Without that there would be no AEW…”
