Ricochet reflects on his storyline with Swerve Strickland.
Earlier this year, Swerve Strickland and Ricochet met in a rivalry that got deeply personal between the two men, culminating at AEW Revolution. Strickland would come away with the victory at the PPV, and earned an AEW World Title shot at AEW Dynasty this past weekend.
While speaking to New York Post Sports in a new interview, Ricochet reflected on the story, noting that Swerve was cheating throughout.
"I guess if the story is you're just going to be cheating the whole time, then yeah, great story. You have Nana out there the whole time trying to steal my jacket. So I'm distracted there. You have, I don't know whether it was Swerve or whether it was Nana or whatever, but they had celebrities in the crowd literally yelling at me the whole time. So I couldn't concentrate there either. Then you probably have Tony Schiavone on commentary saying something negative. So I have to think about that too. So it's just, it was like just one after another of complete distraction on Swerve's side for me. So, I mean, I guess if the story for Swerve is, I mean, everyone cheers for him, but he really is just cheating the whole time, and then at the end with Nana coming back out and I thought i had it won and then again, it just didn't go my way. But like I said, I was out there by myself. I had nobody out there. No one was, yelling at Swerve the whole time. But that match, I mean, I'm glad that it showed that part, but it also showed that I and before have also showed that I can beat Swerve and I have beaten Swerve and that this was purely just a misjudgment of I didn't plan enough for this match. I should have planned for Nana and for everybody else trying to distract me, and that's my fault."
Ricochet would challenge for the AEW International Championship at AEW Dynasty. You can read more about that here.
