Ricochet faces Kyle Fletcher this Wednesday at Dynamite

Ricochet is wasting no time in making AEW his home. Just three days after his debut at All In at London’s Wembley Stadium, Ricochet will have his first-ever singles match with Tony Khan’s promotion on Dynamite this week at the State Farm Arena in Champaign, Illinois. It’s a fitting moment, as Ricochet hails from the same state.


In his first match, Ricochet will face Kyle Fletcher of the Don Callis family. After All In, a segment featured an angry Don Callis complaining about the attention Ricochet was getting and not Fletcher, but he loved the opportunity for Kyle to destroy Ricochet and his fans. Fletcher said he would like nothing more.

Let’s take a look at Ricochet’s entire career, from his time on the indie labels to his work in Japan to his WWE career so far.

Kyle Fletcher (AEW Dynamite, August 8, 2024)


As wrestlers do these days, Ricochet and Kyle Fletcher began heating up their Dynamite match with some harsh words on Twitter/X. After Ricochet told Fletcher, “You’re just so annoying, I try to keep interactions between us as short as possible,” Fletcher went on the defensive, tweeting, “You know all about ‘short’ Mr. Speed,” a comment on Ricochet’s time as Speed’s champion in WWE. Ricochet held out in his final weeks in WWE, saying:

“Wait a minute… why is being a MASTER a bad thing?? Also, I hate to break it to you, but there are more people watching these games than any of you. But don’t worry, I’ll change that for you.”

When a fan made fun of the Speed ​​Championship design, Ricochet, normally the shy, nice guy, didn’t let the criticism go, writing, “Says the guy who will literally never be champion of anything hahaha.”


Who knows how Ricochet’s time in AEW will go, but if he continues to cut his promos and talk the way he sometimes does on social media, the sky’s the limit.
