Ricochet Responds to Tony Khan Criticism for Changing Mina Shirakawa’s Music Amid Online Backlash

Ricochet is not holding back after seeing Alfred Konuwa’s latest jab at Tony Khan. The Pro Wrestling Bits host mocked Khan’s decision to change Mina Shirakawa’s entrance music after online backlash, calling out Khan for allegedly making executive decisions based on “nerdrage from bots.”

“Tony Khan scrolls Twitter during Dynamite & makes executive decisions about his national TV show based on nerdrage from bots. That’s how he runs his company. That’s why he panicked & canceled Mina’s new music,” Konuwa tweeted, attaching a video that further drove his point home.

Ricochet didn’t take kindly to the criticism, firing back with a blunt response: “Stuff like this shows me the level of f*cking stupidity that infects the IWC,” he tweeted.

Konuwa’s post comes after Tony Khan admitted to changing Shirakawa’s theme during the May 14 Beach Break special after seeing negative fan reactions online. Khan confirmed the change after a user asked, “Did TK check Twitter to see everyone ragging on that Mina theme and decide to change it back on the fly??” Khan simply replied, “Yeah.”

Mina Shirakawa, who recently signed a full-time AEW contract, went on to pin AEW Women’s Champion Toni Storm in a four-way match, earning herself a shot at the title at Double or Nothing.

Ricochet isn’t one to hold back, and his response to Alfred Konuwa shows he’s more than willing to call out the critics. With AEW Double or Nothing approaching, it’s clear that the drama outside the ring is just as intense as what’s happening inside it.
