AEW star takes public shot at WWE shortly after Dynamite

A top AEW star has taken a shot at a section of WWE's fanbase on social media. The talent in question, Ricochet, was in action on this week's episode of Dynamite.

The decorated high-flyer kicked off the new year with an intense feud with Swerve Strickland, beating him on television in February but losing to The Realest in a rematch at Revolution 2025 for a future shot at the AEW World Title.

More recently, Ricochet failed to unseat Kenny Omega as International Champion in a three-way match also involving Mike Bailey last month at Dynasty. This week on Dynamite, The One and Only teamed with and helped The Elite (The Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada) defeat The Cleaner, Speedball, Kevin Knight, and Mark Briscoe in a multi-person match.

After the show, he responded to a user on X/Twitter praising his recent growth and developed character work as a heel by taking a shot at critical WWE viewers.

"Watch what you say, or the WWE marks will get mad at you," wrote Ricochet.

The self-proclaimed Excellence of Elevation has leveled up his game considerably since joining the Tony Khan-led promotion last year. He has already competed in multiple title matches on pay-per-view and even reached the semifinal stage of the 2024 Continental Classic.

Ricochet's successful team-up with the AEW EVPs has now sparked conjecture about the former WWE Superstar potentially joining the ranks of The Elite.
