Ricochet Gets Into Heated Altercation with Michael Ray During Thanksgiving AEW Collision

Ricochet is done waiting for opportunities—and during the November 27, 2025 episode of AEW Collision, he made that known in a big way by causing mayhem at ringside in two separate incidents.

The chaos began after Dalton Castle and The Outrunners pulled off a hard-fought win against MxM TV. Despite getting ambushed before the bell by Johnny TV, Taya Valkyrie, and Mason Madden, the team of Castle, Truth Magnum, and Turbo Floyd regrouped. The Outrunners delivered a pair of elbow drops to Mansoor before Castle landed the Bangarang for the win.

But the celebration didn’t last long. Ricochet stormed down the ramp with The Gates of Agony—Kaun and Toa Liona—at his side. As the victors tried to regroup, Kaun blasted Castle with a dropkick, and GOA unleashed a brutal beatdown on The Outrunners. Ricochet then grabbed the mic to vent his frustration, claiming the ring time had been stolen from what should have been his title celebration.

Then came another explosive moment—right at ringside. As Ricochet wrapped up his tirade, country singer Michael Ray, seated at ringside, exchanged words with him. Ricochet marched over and got in Ray’s face, leading to a tense standoff. Ray shoved Ricochet in front of the crowd, and the situation nearly exploded before AEW officials and security intervened to separate them.

The former WWE star has been taking a darker, more confrontational approach since aligning with The Gates of Agony.

Is Ricochet finally unleashing the version of himself AEW needs, or is this new attitude going to backfire? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
