Ricochet just made it clear—MVP’s faction isn’t for him. During the October 26 episode of AEW Collision, Ricochet addressed the buzz about MVP’s recruiting efforts, letting everyone know he’s not joining despite receiving a business card. While Shelton Benjamin remains the faction’s only confirmed member so far, MVP’s attempt to build a dominant crew has kept fans guessing about who might join next.
During a backstage interview with Lexy Nair, Ricochet didn’t mince words, saying he had “no interest” in aligning with MVP’s faction. But things got even more interesting when Lio Rush—Ricochet’s opponent for the night—stepped into the interview to stir the pot.
“Getting a card doesn’t make you special,” Rush quipped, revealing that he’d also been offered a spot by MVP, hinting that MVP’s recruitment might not be as exclusive as Ricochet initially thought.
Despite the playful jab, Ricochet stayed firm in his decision, reiterating that he’s not interested in joining MVP’s team. Lio Rush wasn’t fazed, though—he made it clear that he still has something to prove ahead of their match later that night.
Ricochet’s rejection adds an interesting twist to AEW’s faction scene. His decision suggests he’s focused on carving his own path instead of joining forces. Meanwhile, Rush’s involvement signals that MVP isn’t slowing down his recruiting efforts anytime soon, leaving the door open for more potential surprises in the coming weeks.
With tensions brewing between Ricochet and Lio Rush, fans are now left wondering whether Ricochet’s decision will backfire. Could MVP’s faction grow stronger without him? And is Lio Rush still considering jumping aboard?
