Former WWE Superstar Ricochet debuted this weekend at AEW All In, held at Wembley Stadium in London. After his WWE contract expired in July, Ricochet became a free agent. WWE had written him off television in June, just before his contract ended.
This fueled speculation that he would join AEW. Reports before AEW All In confirmed that the high-flyer had officially signed with Tony Khan’s promotion. Fans expected him to appear at Wembley Stadium.

Ricochet made his AEW debut during the Casino Gauntlet Match at All In. President Tony Khan announced that Ricochet had officially signed with the promotion. Although Ricochet did not win the World title shot, he made a great impression in the Gauntlet. Christian Cage won the Casino Gauntlet Match and can challenge the new AEW World Champion, Bryan Danielson, at any time.
Fans have been wondering about the former WWE star’s first opponent in AEW. It has now been confirmed that he will face his first match in the promotion on the upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite. The high-flyer will face Kyle Fletcher this Wednesday on Dynamite, which will occur at the State Farm Center in Champaign, IL.

After Ricochet’s debut, Don Callis expressed his dissatisfaction with the former WWE star joining All Elite Wrestling. Callis challenged Ricochet to a match against Kyle Fletcher, leading to a heated exchange between the two on Twitter. Fans anticipated a match between Fletcher and Ricochet, but no official announcement came until now. It has been confirmed that Ricochet will face Fletcher on the August 28 episode of Dynamite.

As the former WWE star prepares for his debut match in Tony Khan’s promotion, it will be interesting to see if he crosses paths with his former rival Will Ospreay. Ospreay reclaimed the International Championship at All In, defeating MJF. Given their significant history from their independent wrestling days, fans are eager to see Ricochet and Ospreay face off again.
