Tony Khan praises Ricochet.
Ricochet is officially a free agent after departing WWE at the beginning of July. He was written off WWE television in June.
Speaking to Liam Crowley of ComicBook, Tony Khan was asked about Ricochet potentially joining AEW.
"I'm a huge fan of Ricochet. I think he's a great, great wrestler," Khan said. "He's been involved in matches against some of the top stars in AEW. He also has a great history in New Japan Pro Wrestling, as he's been a champion there and a top star. We have great collaboration there and I love the history of New Japan and I think he's a big part of it. During a great era when a lot of our top stars were wrestling there, he was a big part of it. I have a lot of admiration and respect for Ricochet and think he's one of the top athletes and one of the most exciting stars in all of wrestling."
Fightful Select published the following report on Ricochet on July 4:
However, Ricochet is expected in the company soon, and there was some interesting movement on that. Ricochet's agent was backstage at AEW this week, and we're told had been leading the subsequent talks between the two sides. Ricochet's agent also represents a number of other talent across WWE and AEW.
Fightful will update fans on Ricochet's status and future when more is known.
We will have live coverage of AEW Dynamite beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
