MJF Addresses Rumors of Ricochet Potentially Joining AEW

MJF has been back on AEW television since Double or Nothing last month and he clearly keeps track of what goes on in WWE. This is because the biggest story in WWE right now is Ricochet announcing his departure from the company once his contract expires, leading to speculation he will join AEW. MJF has now addressed rumors of Ricochet joining AEW as well.

PWInsider was the first to report that Ricochet’s WWE contract is nearing its end, and he has recently informed the company of his decision to depart. This courageous move has earned him respect within the industry, with one source praising Ricochet for “betting on himself,” predicting that he will become a highly sought-after talent in the free-agent market.

“One source we spoke with said they were giving Ricochet ‘all the credit in the world for betting on himself.’ One would think he’ll quickly be a hot commodity as a free agent.”

A fan shared a hypothetical promo on Twitter, envisioning MJF’s remarks directed at Ricochet should he join AEW after leaving WWE. The fan’s promo included comments about Ricochet’s wrestling name and mentioned Samantha Irvin as well.

“Look everyone, it’s RicoS***. Ricochet my bad, sorry bud, I’m bad with names. But I guess your wife’s pretty good with them huh? Well after I beat your ass back to Boyle Heights I’ll have your wife screaming MY name, and Sam baby, I promise I can last longer than THREE MINUTES!”

The former AEW World Champion responded on social media, addressing Ricochet’s WWE exit and the potential of him joining All Elite Wrestling as he simply made it clear he bookmarked the tweet for future reference, in case Ricochet does come to AEW.

”Bookmarked!”

AEW’s internal reaction to Ricochet potentially joining the company has also been revealed, as Ricochet has been brought up backstage lately. We’ll have to see whether Ricochet does end up joining Tony Khan’s company in the end.
