In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Ricochet explained why he decided to leave WWE and join AEW.
Ricochet made his AEW debut at Wembley Stadium, on Sunday. He was a participant in the Casino gauntlet at All In. He won his first AEW match by defeating Kyle Fletcher at Dynamite. Ricochet hadn’t wrestled since June, when he gave his notice to WWE.
Ricochet tells Sports Illustrated that AEW feels like a home for him. Ricochet knows so much about the AEW team. Ricochet says that he has had a lot of fun in pro wrestling, but the most enjoyable part of his career was traveling around the world with the people now in AEW.
“Honestly, I think the biggest reason that [he signed with AEW] was because I’ve done this for a very long time, 21 in this year. Ricochet stated that the time in his career when he was having the most enjoyment was when he was traveling the world with the crazy lunatics. “It was literally the time I had the most fun,” Ricochet said. Ricochet hasn’t always had a bad time, despite what some people think. I’ve always had fun, no matter where I was. I’ve always enjoyed myself. It’s not changing. When I was having the best time, it was when I hung out with these guys, traveled the world with them, played matches with them, and created the art I really enjoy making. I feel like Ricochet fans who have missed the chance to shine. But for me, I want to have fun and create that art again.”
Ricochet felt like he plateaued in WWE the last two years. He knew that joining AEW was a huge decision for him, but he was confident it was the best one.
