Backstage Reaction to Ricochet’s Controversial Tweet About AEW Lawsuit

Ricochet might be embracing his heel persona online, but his latest tweet crossed a line—and then vanished.

The AEW star caught attention after posting a now-deleted comment in response to the civil lawsuit filed against AEW and Jon Moxley, calling out the situation with a blunt and offensive remark. But despite fan backlash, it turns out AEW’s locker room isn’t sweating it.

While speaking on The Hump, Sean Ross Sapp was asked whether Ricochet received any backstage heat over the tweet. According to Sapp, the company isn’t coming down on him for it—and they see it as part of the territory.

“Ricochet? He didn’t get heat for it. Ricochet is going to be fine. Like, listen—that’s part of the deal. They know that.”

The drama started when Ricochet tweeted:

“We live in a world of pu****.”*

The tweet came shortly after news broke about the lawsuit against AEW and Moxley. It wasn’t long before Ricochet hit delete, but not before fans took screenshots and started calling him out for the reckless comment.

While Ricochet escaped punishment from AEW brass, many fans aren’t letting him off the hook so easily. The tweet may be gone, but the reaction lingers—and people are starting to wonder if his edgy online persona is doing more harm than good for the company.

Ricochet’s heel antics might play in the ring, but when it comes to legal situations and company image, Twitter might not be the place to work that gimmick.

Should Ricochet dial it back on Twitter before it does real damage—or is this just the risk of playing a heel in 2025? Drop your take in the comments and let us know where you stand.
