Speaking to Fightful's Iridian Fierro for WGN Radio 720, Ricochet expressed his desire to not only wrestle anyone on any continent but expressed how excited he is to face young competitors like Nick Wayne.

"Yeah. I mean, I'm always looking to wrestle the best of the best, wherever, whether that's Mexico, Japan, Europe, Canada, America, that's never changed. That's 21 years strong of always wanting to wrestle the best and the newest. When I first started, there's so many guys wrestling now that weren't even alive when I started wrestling. For example, I just wrestled Nick Wayne not too long ago. He just turned 19 years old. I've been wrestling for 21 years, so you always want to wrestle the best, but you do want to wrestle the new people, and you want to wrestle the guy, the up-and-comers who are going to be leading the business into whatever direction they want to take it later in the future. So, absolutely. Whatever continent, whatever promotion, I absolutely always am looking to wrestle the best."

Ricochet will get his chance to wrestle some of the best as part of the Continental Classic Tournament currently going on in AEW. Reading his thoughts on that tournament here.
