AEW is having an amazing year so far. Last month, they held All In at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. This annual pay-per-view was a massive success, and in its main event, "Hangman" Adam Page defeated Jon Moxley in a brutal Texas Death Match to become the new AEW World Champion.

Since All Elite Wrestling's inception, Tony Khan has signed several former WWE stars. Names such as Jon Moxley, Swerve Strickland, Samoa Joe, Toni Storm, Mercedes Mone, Adam Copeland (fka Edge), and more are currently top names in the company. Last year, former WWE Intercontinental Champion Ricochet made his AEW debut.

The One and Only is one of the most over names in the promotion, and his heel work has received worldwide praise. Interestingly, The Future of Flight recently claimed that All Elite Wrestling wouldn't have existed without him. When a fan said, "No Ricochet, no AEW", the 36-year-old blatantly agreed with the sentiment.

AEW star Ricochet recently honored the legendary Sabu

Earlier this year, legendary wrestler Sabu passed away. The two-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion was revered by fans and veterans worldwide. He was considered a pioneer of hardcore wrestling. Furthermore, his last match took place just three weeks before his death.

In a recent interview with the Battleground Podcast, The Human Highlight Reel paid tribute to Sabu.

"He’s one of the original guys that I’ve seen doing the craziest stuff. Sometimes it didn’t work out, but when it did work out, man, it was awesome. And so he goes up there for sure as one of those guys that really helped innovate the high-flying style that you see today. If not for Sabu, I don’t think a lot of us would even be doing what we do," said the former WWE star. [H/T: SEScoops]
