Ricochet's AEW faction officially gets a new name

A few months ago, Ricochet had been looking for a "crew" to help him achieve his goals in AEW. The decorated high-flyer ended up finding a formidable tag team duo - The Gates of Agony - to back up him, and now, All Elite Wrestling has revealed the trio's official name as a team.

After defeating Mark Briscoe at Double or Nothing earlier this year, Ricochet announced that having taken stock of AEW's locker-room landscape, he had realized that he needed a group of his own to safeguard his interests and aid him in his quest for gold. Towards the end of June, The One and Only had his wish fulfilled, as he was approached by Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona backstage.

Ricochet and The Gates of Agony subsequently forged an alliance, and last month at Forbidden Door 2025, the group cost Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley their AEW World Tag Team Titles. The Future of Flight and GOA have been feuding with The Hurt Syndicate since then, and defeated the dominant faction at All Out : Toronto this Saturday. It was at the September 20 pay-per-view that All Elite Wrestling revealed the official team name for Ricochet and The Gates as a trio, who have been christened "The Demand".

It remains to be seen whether The Demand will go after trios gold now that they have a victory against The Syndicate in their bag.
