Sarah Stock came at AEW this week with a long list of serious allegations about the company’s treatment of international talent—and now Ricochet is chiming in. But instead of addressing the substance of her claims, he offered a sarcastic dismissal.
In response to a viral thread detailing Stock’s accusations about AEW’s alleged mistreatment of Mexican wrestlers and foreign women, Ricochet posted:
“No we just didn’t like you. Lol”
It’s a sharp response—but also a strange one. Ricochet wasn’t even working for AEW during the timeframe Stock referenced, which makes his remark both out of place and dismissive given the nature of the accusations.
Stock, who worked as a coach in AEW for two years, said the company—under Chief Operating Officer Kosha Irby—knowingly stranded Mexican wrestlers in the U.S. for nearly a week at a time with no support or resources. Her tweet laid it all out:
“Here’s how @koshairby and @aew took care of 🇲🇽 Mexican talent: to save 💰on flights home btwn Dynamite and Collision, they’d fly in Mexican Talent on Tues and keep them in the country until Sunday, no per diem, no food allowance, and ONLY ONE DAY/WEEK AT HOME WITH THEIR FAMILY. I was furious when I found out. I addressed the insanity and immorality of that with Kosha, but, ‘Then I’d have to do it for everyone.’”
She claimed this policy was kept hidden from the Talent Relations department.
“This type of thing tries to be concealed from Talent Relations.”
Stock also spoke directly to her fanbase in Mexico, trying to explain why she decided to speak up.
“I hope my Mexican fans and friends understand the inhumane treatment toward Mexican wrestlers in @aew that I witnessed during my 2 years working there. I don’t know if things have changed, but this lack of respect has to be called out, especially when Mexico has welcomed them with open arms.”
One of the most alarming claims involved AEW’s treatment of foreign women who were brought in to wrestle but allegedly left to fend for themselves upon arrival in the U.S.
“Imagine this: You’re a young female wrestler arriving at an enormous airport in a foreign country. You reach out for direction. You’re told you don’t get any. There’s nobody coming to pick you up, figure it out. Navigate the foreign country, language, transportation, and find your way into the backstage area of a major event. Wonder if @aew women are told to ‘figure it out’ when they land in Mexico.”
She contrasted that with the red-carpet treatment given to major male talent:
“Edge gets picked up from the airport every time. Orange Cassidy gets picked up from the airport every time. As do innumerable other talent. Able-bodied males. Not Vaquer, though. Not Zeuxis. Not Catalina. Not any of the other foreign females coming to @aew for the first time.”
The report concluded with a story about Rush being thrown on live TV with barely any notice and zero creative support.
“How about the 1st time Rush returns after injury. No direction all day. They throw him out there with about 20 min notice before Dynamite, tell him to just ‘cut a promo in English’. Every promo gets a writer. Every match gets a producer. Every person whose first language isn’t English deserves a chance to rehearse. No writer/coach this time. As the finish is going down, I get a text: ‘Hey, could you Produce that Rush match?’”
AEW upper management has yet to respond publicly to any of Stock’s claims. But Ricochet’s flippant tweet drew heat not just for being off-base, but for treating the issue like a joke—something many fans and wrestlers don’t find funny.
Whether Ricochet was trolling or genuinely dismissing Stock’s experience, his response poured gasoline on an already serious conversation. And with no comment from AEW leadership, the silence is starting to speak volumes.
Do you think Ricochet’s response was out of line—or was he just defending his locker room? Should AEW address these allegations directly? Let us know what you think in the comments.
