Ricochet finally finds first two members of his new AEW stable

Since making his AEW debut at All In 2024 in the Casino Gauntlet Match, Ricochet has transitioned from a babyface to a heel. This change has allowed him to showcase a more obnoxious personality through promos and underhanded tactics, generating major fan backlash.

His current storyline involves recruiting members into his faction who can help him win a singles championship in AEW. However, it seems like the star has already found the first two members.

On the last episode of AEW Dynamite, Ricochet teamed up with AR Fox for a tag team contest but left him mid-match. When Fox tried to confront Ricochet for his actions at Collision today, Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) attacked him from behind and mauled him. This impressed Ricochet, and it seems they will soon have a conversation about a new alliance.

The partnership between Ricochet and Gates of Agony also makes sense because of their complementary wrestling styles—Ricochet’s high-flying, agile style pairs well with Kaun and Liona’s power-based, hard-hitting approach, creating a balance.

Moreover, Gates of Agony were looking for a new direction since Cage of Agony, and forming a stable with Ricochet might be exactly what they need to regain their momentum.
