Ricochet reflects on WWE exit and AEW debut, balancing frustration with gratitude

Ricochet, a former WWE star, recently opened up about his departure from the company and subsequent debut in AEW. After being written off WWE television in June amid rumors of not re-signing, he made a surprise appearance at AEW’s All In event 11 weeks later. In a candid interview, Ricochet reflected on his time with WWE, expressing frustration with his final years there but also gratitude for the experience.

The wrestler took responsibility for his lack of success in WWE, stating that he blames himself rather than others. Despite feeling that his character was underutilized, with more emphasis on quantity of appearances rather than quality storylines, Ricochet acknowledged that he had a positive experience overall. He highlighted meeting his fiancée, Samantha Irvin, as a significant personal benefit of his time with the company.

Ricochet also expressed concern for his fans, feeling that they deserved to see him perform more substantial roles. While he admitted to feeling frustrated, he balanced this sentiment with appreciation for the opportunities he had in WWE, demonstrating a nuanced perspective on his professional journey.
