Former WWE Champion confesses he's a huge fan of Ricochet

A former WWE Superstar has recently praised Ricochet for his work in AEW and how this has benefited the promotion. This comes as an interesting take, as many have believed the opposite.

The One and Only has taken a different approach to his character in the Jacksonville-based promotion. For starters, he is a heel, and one who loves to troll others, both within the company and on social media. His work on the latter deserves some credit, as he does not hold back in speaking his mind and is often labeled as controversial.

During the recent episode of Something to Wrestle, JBL praised Ricochet for his work on social media. He mentioned how he's always stirring up controversy by talking about himself or AEW. The veteran mentioned that he did this well, and this will benefit both him and the company.

"I love what Ricochet's doing. He seems like a great guy and every time I talk to him I really like him, personally. What he's done with social media, I think he's been fantastic. He's always creating something controversial. He always sticks up for his product. But he always finds a way to put himself over, and he does a great job of doing that. I love what he's doing. I think it's perfect for both AEW and for himself." [H/T WrestleTalk]

Ricochet has called out WWE for ESPN giving Wrestlepalooza a "C rating"

A topic that has been widely spoken about this week was the head-to-head last weekend between AEW All Out and WWE Wrestlepalooza. An article from ESPN surfaced regarding their rating of the PLE. They received only a 'C Rating' from this.

Ricochet, ever the troll, took to X/Twitter to make fun of this, as he claimed that All Out blew them out of the water and surely got a better rating than that.

"I know our show was way better than a C. 😂 👑 #Ahaa."

It seems that the 36-year-old has had a career resurgence after signing with AEW. This is arguably his best work to date, and he has been able to explore some interesting angles with this, including forming The Demand with the Gates of Agony. This trio looks to be one to keep an eye out for.

He is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Multimedia Studies, which influenced his decision of taking up sports writing professionally, and has been an avid fan of the athletic theater since childhood. He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

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.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
