AEW President Tony Khan has pulled back the curtain on Ricochet’s reputation since the former WWE standout joined the promotion last August at All In.
The high-flyer’s heel turn has effectively drawn heat from AEW crowds, transforming his once soft-spoken persona into an arrogant, cocky character.
During his appearance on Battleground Podcast, Khan didn’t mince words about the former Lucha Underground Champion’s backstage reputation.
“One of the least-liked men in our locker room and somebody I’m a big fan of as a wrestler but he’s a very challenging personality, very hard to work with, really weird guy and that’s Ricochet,” Khan revealed.
The AEW boss went on to praise Ricochet’s in-ring talents despite the behind-the-scenes challenges.
“He has really turned the fans and I think he’s a great, great, great wrestler and to be honest I like working with because I think he’s such a great talent in the ring,” Khan continued.
Ricochet will square off against Kenny Omega and “Speedball” Mike Bailey in a three-way match for the AEW International Championship at Dynasty.
Khan wrapped up his assessment with a telling distinction about the former WWE Intercontinental Champion.
“He is in really top fighting condition and I think Ricochet is a great wrestler; I don’t think he’s a great guy,” Khan remarked.
The candid nature of Khan’s comments raises questions about how Ricochet’s difficult reputation might impact his push in AEW despite his undeniable in-ring abilities.
