Identity of Person Behind Ricochet’s Apology For Controversial MS Tweet Revealed

Ricochet’s situation took a serious turn this week thanks to his controversial MS tweet— and now there’s a clear answer about who stepped in behind the scenes when things spiraled.

After the AEW star faced heavy backlash for his offensive comment toward a fan with multiple sclerosis, questions started circulating about who advised him to delete the tweet and issue an apology. Now, that piece of the story is out. According to Fightful Select, the longtime friend who reached out to Ricochet and advised him during the controversy has been identified and it’s none other than Chris Hero.

"Those that we spoke to in AEW say that Chris Hero was the person who reached out to Ricochet to give him advice on the disrespectful MS tweet."

Chris Hero — a respected veteran and longtime friend — is now being credited as the one who got through to Ricochet when the backlash hit its peak, leading to the tweet being deleted and the apology being posted.

And that lines up with what we already knew — Ricochet’s response wasn’t damage control from the company, it was a personal decision influenced by someone he trusts. Bottom line — when things got messy, AEW stayed out of it, and Chris Hero stepped in.
