Ricochet would’ve signed for AEW in 2018, had it even been an idea at that point. After Lucha Underground ended, the former Prince Puma made the jump to the WWE. He signed for NXT in 2018, impressing fans with his incredible high-flying moves and fantastic wrestling matches.

Ricochet made his televised debut at NXT Takeover: New Orleans in April 2018. This kicked off a year-long stint for Ricochet in the black and gold developmental brand before he was slowly brought to the main roster in early 2019.

In a new interview, Ricochet said he would have left WWE for AEW a long time ago if not for former WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis.

While a May 2016 match with Will Ospreay may arguably be his most famous, AEW's Ricochet points toward a different match as his favorite.
