Ricochet Addresses Possibility of Joining The Hurt Syndicate Despite Past Animosity

Ricochet has been part of AEW for a few months and has already impressed fans with his high-flying skills. However, some fans are still curious if he will ever join The Hurt Syndicate faction and now Ricochet has now addressed potentially joining the faction.

While speaking on Barstool Rasslin, Ricochet talked about the possibility of joining The Hurt Syndicate, explaining that it’s a tricky situation because of their past. He mentioned that during the pandemic, they made his life difficult, which made it hard for him to trust them fully.

While he thinks they want what’s best for him, he feels like they are forcing their idea of what’s best onto him. Ricochet also pointed out that The Hurt Syndicate is really just looking out for themselves, which he says is something everyone does. While he doesn’t blame them for it, he does feel some frustration.

However, Ricochet also stated that there are things he could learn from The Hurt Syndicate, and one of them would be how to hurt people. Ricochet admits he is usually the one who gets hurt, so the idea of being the one doing the hurting is something he is curious about.

“That’s like a delicate situation because of our past, and literally, they terrorized me throughout the entire pandemic. Yeah, so as much as I feel like they do want what’s best for me, I feel like they want what’s best for me by force. Yeah, and so, but it’s… well, they really want what’s best for them. They want what’s best for them. Isn’t that everybody? It is. It really is. And at the end of the day, you can’t blame them for that, but I do. I think there are some things I could learn from the Hurt Syndicate, but man, it’s maybe how to hurt people. Really, yeah, I’m usually the one getting hurt. So, I bet hurting—doing the hurting—is awesome.”

Bobby Lashley has also made it clear that he believes Ricochet would be a solid addition to The Hurt Syndicate. In fact, Ricochet had shared that he was originally planned to join The Hurt Business in WWE.

Therefore, many fans are excited about the possibility of the high-flying AEW star becoming part of The Hurt Syndicate. Turning heel could be a significant shift for Ricochet and help take his character to the next level, so it remains to be seen whether that will ever happen in the end.
