Will Ospreay Weighs In on Ricochet’s Potential AEW Move

One big thing: Will Ospreay gives Ricochet’s AEW prospects a “5 out of 10”

AEW International Champion Will Ospreay has commented on the likelihood of Ricochet joining All Elite Wrestling, rating it a “5 out of 10” in a recent interview with CBS Sports.

Key points:

• Ospreay has been “shouting [Ricochet’s] name off in the distance for years”
• He hopes Ricochet joins AEW but says there’s “nothing said between us” about it
• Ospreay sees potential for both a rematch and a tag team with Ricochet

Why it matters:

Ricochet’s WWE contract is reportedly expiring soon, and he’s informed the company of his plans to leave. His potential move to AEW could significantly impact the wrestling landscape, given his high-flying style and history with stars like Ospreay.

The backdrop:

• On June 10’s WWE Raw, Bron Breakker attacked Ricochet, possibly writing him off TV
• Ospreay and Ricochet have a long history of memorable matches
• AEW has a track record of signing former WWE talent

What they’re saying:

Ospreay on Ricochet potentially joining AEW:

“I miss him, as a friend. I do think there is money on the table to do a rematch, but I do think there is money on the table to do a tag team.”

What’s next:

Will Ospreay will challenge Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Title at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door on June 30.
