Ricochet vs Will Ospreay Booked for 10/2 AEW Dynamite

AEW has a roster full of exciting matches that have yet to be booked. Ricochet’s signing with AEW immediately sparked fans’ curiosity about how long it would take before he faced off against Will Ospreay, and it didn’t take long for that match to be scheduled.

During the September 18 AEW Dynamite, Ricochet competed against The Beast Mortos in what was a noteworthy first match for both wrestlers. However, things took a thrilling turn backstage after Ricochet secured the victory.

Backstage, Ricochet encountered Will Ospreay and wasted no time making it clear that he was stepping up to challenge the International Champion. He mentioned that he had spoken to Tony Khan, who had booked a match between them for AEW Dynamite’s 5-Year Anniversary episode in Pittsburgh, PA, on October 2. That matchup promises to be a thrilling contest, especially considering the history between the two competitors.

Ricochet and Will Ospreay have faced each other 14 times from 2013 to 2017, but one match at the Battle of the Super Juniors in NJPW stands out above the rest. It is still regarded as a benchmark for many in the wrestling community, and only time will tell if they can replicate that match’s viral success.

On May 18, 2017, Ricochet faced Will Ospreay in a highly acclaimed match during the NJPW Best Of The Super Junior XXIV. This contest received an impressive rating of ****3/4 from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and boasts a notable 9.22 rating on CageMatch.

Tony Khan, a well-known fan of CageMatch, recognizes the exceptional chemistry and athleticism that both Ricochet and Ospreay bring to the ring. With this in mind, he may be looking to capture that magic again with their highly anticipated matchup scheduled for October 2nd.
