AEW’s Ricochet faced intense backlash after replying to a fan’s criticism of his acting ability by cruelly stating he was glad she had multiple sclerosis. However, after initially doubling down, he deleted the offensive tweet and issued a public apology, acknowledging he was in the wrong. And while some speculate this was because he feared he could lose his job with AEW, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, he was actually advised by a friend to do this, and no one forced him to apologize.
“What ended up happening was, one of his friends called him and said, ‘You know, you really should take the tweet down.’ So he took the tweet down. And upon thinking about it, he then apologized. It was not, nobody forced his apology or anything like that. He decided to apologize, and he did.” – Dave Meltzer
37-year-old Ricochet joined All Elite Wrestling in August 2024, debuting at All In in the Casino Gauntlet. Initially a babyface, he soon turned heel, embracing a brash, arrogant persona that he also portrayed online, provocatively engaging fans to generate heat and draw disdain. However, in this instance, he clearly went too far, and it will now be interesting to see whether he tones down his tweeting style, given that his wife, Samantha Irvin, has been receiving death threats over his comments.
