Ricochet has been pretty vocal with his opinions about professional wrestling since making his debut in All Elite Wrestling. The former WWE star is often involved in controversies with the WWE Universe for his outspoken opinions. Recently, The One & Only sent a message to a 3-time champion who was released by WWE hours ago.

Former NXT North American Champion Wes Lee, who is also a former 2-time NXT Tag Team Champion, was released by WWE before the Crown Jewel PLE. This news caught the attention of his fans, who gave a solid backlash to the Stamford-based promotion for wasting Lee's talent after all these years. Amid all this controversy, Richochet stood up to give a supportive response to the 30-year-old.

Taking to X, the AEW star praised Wes Lee for his talent, while expressing positive hope for his future in the world of professional wrestling. With a heartfelt tone, the former WWE United States Champion wrote:

"Desmond Xavier is the MAN! He bout to show TF out!"

Ricochet makes a bold claim about his pro-wrestling success

Ricochet has been doing a fine job in All Elite Wrestling as of late. He started off as a babyface in the promotion following his debut in 2024, and went on to become a cunning heel in the company later on. Recently, the 37-year-old star made a bold claim about himself in one of his latest social media posts.

Taking to X, the former WWE United States Champion said that several legends have told him that he is doing the best work of his career at the moment. While The One & Only did not mention any names of the legends, he seemed pretty confident with his message.

"The amount of legends that have told me that I am doing the best work of my career would me you cry babies STFU. #Ahaa 👑" he wrote

However, the former WWE star made a terrible typo in his X post that caught the attention of the fans. People then started trolling Ricochet while throwing shade on his professional wrestling success.

However, his true passion has always been storytelling, especially the kind of tales that unfold in the world of professional wrestling. Writing gave him a way to channel that passion, and soon it turned into his profession. He has been working as a sports journalist for over two years. During this time, he has contributed to multiple prominent sports media outlets.

He first got into pro wrestling in 2014, during the unforgettable Daniel Bryan vs. The Authority storyline in WWE. As a journalist, accuracy and integrity are non-negotiable for Anugrah. He always verifies facts through credible sources before publishing anything. Whether it’s breaking news or analysis, he double-checks details. He has written over 2000 articles so far, with one of his pieces drawing a positive reaction from NXT's Thea Hail.

Anugrah's favorite wrestler is Seth Rollins. He admires The Visionary's work ethic, resilience, and unwavering dedication to his craft. If he could travel back to the Attitude Era, he would have loved to manage Chris Jericho. Anugrah feels Y2J was the perfect mix of charisma, rebellion, and in-ring talent in WWE. He would have helped the multi-time world champion scale new heights.

When not watching or writing about pro wrestling, Anugrah likes diving into movies and TV shows, especially ones with strong storytelling. He's also into calisthenics; it's his way of staying grounded and pushing his limits. Anugrah also enjoys reading books and solving puzzles that challenge his thinking ability.
