Ricochet is settling into AEW, but don’t expect him to act like it’s all pretend.
The former WWE star sat down with K104 to talk about his run in All Elite Wrestling, and when the conversation shifted to his new heel persona, Ricochet made it very clear—this isn’t a gimmick. It’s who he really is.
The host mentioned how fans have been responding to this version of him and asked what it’s like to “play” a heel. Ricochet didn’t mince words.
“Uh, that’s the thing. It’s like I’m not playing anything. I’m kind of just being myself and whether people like it or not, that’s up to how they choose to then live their lives.”
He doubled down, explaining that he’s not interested in sugarcoating anything just to make people comfortable.
“If they want to choose to then be disgruntled and be angry for the rest of the day, that’s on them. If they want to choose to take it as entertainment and take it for what it is, then that’s on them.”
Ricochet wrapped it up by keeping things simple.
“And so I like to again just kind of be myself and say kind of what I think about events or people. And you like it, you like it. You don’t—sorry.”
This blunt, take-it-or-leave-it attitude is a sharp contrast to his WWE persona—and it’s exactly the kind of energy he seems ready to bring to AEW full-time. Whether fans cheer or boo, Ricochet is done trying to be anything but real.
