Ricochet has been with AEW since he debuted at All In last year after leaving WWE, and he has quickly become one of the company’s biggest stars. WWE President Nick Khan recently stated that he believes some AEW wrestlers will join WWE when their contracts end, and now Ricochet has responded to the same.

While speaking on The Bill Simmons Podcast, Nick Khan stated that he believes that several AEW wrestlers will eventually move to WWE once their contracts run out. He acknowledged that AEW has a lot of talented performers and said WWE is glad those talents are out there.

Once those wrestlers are free to negotiate, Khan expects some of them to make the jump. He also showed respect for AEW’s ownership, noting the financial backing and other successful ventures like the Jacksonville Jaguars.

“In terms of the other wrestling promotional company, they have a lot of talented wrestlers and we’re happy about that. When, contractually, they are available to talk to and have conversations with, assume a number of them will come over. Nothing but respect to the father who finances it and owns the Jaguars and all those other things.”
