The wrestling world’s obsession with spray tans has officially reached a boiling point, and Ricochet isn’t holding back. The AEW star went in during an interview with Barstool’s Rasslin’, calling out the industry-wide epidemic of bad spray tans that have fans—and wrestlers—cringing.

“Oh man. It’s all over,” Ricochet admitted when asked about the growing problem. “It’s indies, it’s WWE, it’s AEW, it’s everywhere. Apparently, people can’t put the spray tan on the night before and then wash; they have to put it on right before their match.”

The result? A locker room disaster zone. “You just go into the locker room, the showers in the locker room, if you just look at the floor, it’s like spray tan city. It gets all over your gear, all over everything,” Ricochet revealed. The visual? A wrestling version of The Jersey Shore, but way messier.

The critique comes as spray tan blunders have taken center stage on social media, with fans taking jabs at uneven or overly dramatic tanning jobs. While it’s clear wrestlers aim to look their best under the bright lights, Ricochet’s comments highlight a hilarious yet undeniable reality: sometimes, the glam comes with a little too much grit.
