"You would be off TV if Roman turns up in AEW" - Fans erupt after ex-WWE star takes a cheeky shot at Roman Reigns and The Rock

A major AEW star has just fired some shots at both Roman Reigns and The Rock on social media. Fans have replied to this and warned him about his words, as both of them have the power to easily take his spot within the company.

Ricochet has presented an interesting new angle to his character after turning heel. Apart from being an online menace, he's antagonized the live audience and even WWE's talent while feuding with several top stars. This has worked in his favor as he has racked up some impressive wins and elevated his status.

On X/Twitter, one fan brought up how, in the case that stars as big as The Rock and Roman Reigns joined AEW, they would immediately be running the company. The former WWE Superstar responded to this with a bold claim that they would be in catering after a week.

He was clearly baiting the fans, which has become one of his favorite pastimes, but they bought in and hurled several hilarious comments back at him. Some claimed that if this was the case, he would be the one bringing them their refreshments. Another believed that he would be mistaken as a member of the ring crew.

Others believed that he was being delusional and that the two icons would immediately have a major impact on the company.

Roman Reigns has been absent since WrestleMania 41

At WrestleMania 41, Paul Heyman turned on both Reigns and CM Punk during their triple-threat match with Seth Rollins. Heyman revealed that night that he was in cahoots with The Visionary. The OTC has not been seen in any capacity since then.

Rollins addressed this earlier tonight on SmackDown, as he claimed that after what they did at the Showcase of the Immortals, Roman Reigns was now on the "island of irrelevancy."

It is unclear when Roman Reigns will be back, but he will surely look to get back at his long-time rival. This is another chapter in the never-ending back-and-forth exchanges between them.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
