Ricochet Addresses Potential Heel Turn – Ricochet, who has largely been known as a babyface in recent years, is now entering a new phase of his career following his move to AEW. Since joining the promotion, he has hinted at a potential feud with AEW International Champion Will Ospreay, who is currently one of AEW’s top faces.
During a recent appearance on The Babyfaces Podcast, Ricochet was asked if he had ever thought about turning heel in AEW. In response, he shared that while he’s not opposed to telling someone to “shut up” and giving them a smack, he acknowledged that every wrestler has their own journey. He hinted that his own story might evolve in a different direction later down the road, leaving the door open for future character development.
“I think…everybody just kind of is an extension of who they feel they are. So I feel like for me, for example, I’m not afraid to tell somebody to shut up and smack them in their mouth. But at the same time, I feel like there’s steps that we could take before we get there. So the good guy/bad guy, that’s all just within that person. I feel like there aren’t really good guys and bad guys. Is Thanos a bad guy? Some people don’t think so. Is Killmonger a bad guy? Some people don’t think so. So it depends, everyone’s got their story and how they tell it. People can resonate with that. So maybe one of these days, my story will be told differently than how I feel now. Maybe I will feel differently later. So who knows? But right now, I feel great, I feel good, and it’s hard to really get me down. It’s always been hard. In my real life, in my wrestling life, it’s hard to get me down. It’s hard to really get on my bad side. Sure, I will communicate with you, and we will talk about it, and we will fight if we need to. But I don’t know. I’ve always kind of been, if not for the fans and if not for the people, I wouldn’t be where I’m at. So I’m not afraid, like Will Ospreay or whomever it is, if we got a problem, we can squash it right now, however you need to squash it. So the good guy/bad guy, it’s just different. It’s all how you are in the moment, and I might feel differently later,” Ricochet said.
This potential shift in his character could open up exciting new possibilities for Ricochet, especially given the dynamic landscape of AEW and the potential rivalry with Ospreay. Fans are now left wondering whether Ricochet’s story in AEW will eventually lead to a more villainous side of his character, adding another layer to his in-ring persona.
