In the aftermath of AEW Dynasty, president Tony Khan revealed during the media scrum that he had a direct, honest conversation with Ricochet following the star’s controversial social media post. Khan firmly stated that the remarks violated AEW’s social media policy and had no place in wrestling or society. While addressing the seriousness of the incident, he acknowledged Ricochet’s public apology and expressed the company’s desire to move forward, especially after Ricochet’s high-profile victory over Chris Jericho at the pay-per-view event.
“I had a conversation with him. I had a good conversation and a frank talk. That was not acceptable, and I think that was communicated. We have a policy, and it continues to be a policy in place for such things, and that violated it. There is no place for that in wrestling or anywhere. I do appreciate you asking, and we’ve tried to move past that, but thank you for asking.” – Tony Khan
The controversy erupted in mid-March 2026, after AEW Revolution, when Ricochet clashed online with a fan named Sandi who criticized his acting. Upon discovering she has multiple sclerosis, Ricochet replied with a now-deleted tweet saying, “I’m glad you got MS.” The post sparked immediate outrage for mocking a serious illness, leading to widespread condemnation. Ricochet initially defended himself, then deleted the tweet and ultimately apologized the next day, admitting he had wrongly taken out his frustrations on her and promised to do better.
