Ricochet Gets Angry with AEW Fans After Booing Tony Khan
After fans booed Tony Khan at Grand Slam: Australia, Ricochet labeled them ‘idiots’ in response to the incident at Brisbane Entertainment Centre.

AEW CEO Tony Khan faced a negative crowd reaction during Grand Slam: Australia at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. The show marked AEW’s debut in the country, having been relocated from the originally planned 52,000-capacity Suncorp Stadium.
Khan attempted to address the crowd, calling the event a “dream come true” and promising AEW’s return to Australia. However, the audience responded with boos, stemming from frustrations over the venue change and ticket price concerns. Attendees who purchased premium seats for the initially planned stadium setup received no refunds or price adjustments following the venue modification.
Responding to the crowd’s reaction, Ricochet took to X with a direct message:
Cause fans are idiots.
The response has sparked online discussion, with some supporting Ricochet’s stance regarding Khan’s treatment, while others defend the audience’s right to express their dissatisfaction with the event’s handling.
