Ricochet Deletes Controversial ‘Glad You Got MS’ Tweet

Ricochet’s social media controversy just took another turn — and this time, the update shows his apology and deleted tweet didn’t come from pressure inside All Elite Wrestling, but from advice given by someone much closer to him.

After backlash erupted over a harsh comment directed at a fan who revealed they were living with multiple sclerosis, Ricochet faced intense criticism across social media. While many assumed the company may have stepped in behind the scenes, new details indicate that wasn’t the case.

Instead, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Ricochet deleted the controversial tweet after receiving advice from a longtime friend and former independent wrestling colleague. That conversation appears to have been the turning point that led him to rethink his response and remove the message.

Sources confirmed that Ricochet’s apology was made on his own terms. Despite widespread speculation online, reports state that AEW officials did not force the apology and did not contact him about the situation at all.

The controversy originally started when Ricochet fired off a reply to a fan that quickly sparked outrage. The reaction from fans was immediate, with many calling the comment inappropriate and demanding accountability. The backlash grew rapidly across social platforms, putting the spotlight squarely on his response.

Ricochet later acknowledged that he crossed a line and chose to apologize publicly, but this latest update clarifies how that decision came together. Rather than being directed by management, it appears to have been driven by personal reflection — and guidance from someone who knows him outside of corporate wrestling structures.

While the tweet is now gone and the apology has already been delivered, the fallout from the situation hasn’t fully faded. The controversy escalated beyond criticism and into more serious territory, with threats later being reported against Samantha Irvin, showing just how far things spiraled after the original post.

That development pushed the story beyond a simple social media mistake and into something with real-world consequences, especially as individuals connected to Ricochet became targets of harassment.

At this point, the biggest question may not be whether Ricochet apologized — but whether the fallout from this controversy will linger as fans continue to debate how the situation was handled.

Do you think Ricochet did enough by deleting the tweet and apologizing on his own, or do you believe the situation still deserves further accountability? Drop your thoughts and let us know what you think.
