Following his debut at All In London, former WWE Intercontinental Champion Ricochet has discussed his transition to AEW.

Former Intercontinental Champion Ricochet started with WWE in 2018 and spent several years in the promotion, but he started a new chapter when he signed with All Elite Wrestling.
At AEW All In London, the former WWE star made his long awaited debut for the company in the Casino Gauntlet Match.

Speaking on The Babyfaces Podcast, Ricochet reflected on his debut at AEW All In London. On his transition to All Elite Wrestling being smooth, he said:
“Wembley was amazing. It really gave that big show feel, the big fight feel, it really did. The locker rooms make things different.”
“Both locker rooms are great. I’ve known people are in All Elite [Wrestling] for probably my whole career I’ve known a lot of these guys, the Chuck Taylors and some of those guys since day one, so it was honestly a pretty easy transition.

“It was pretty smooth for me to transition over. I haven’t seen a lot of these fives in five, six, seven years, maybe longer.
“But honestly, it was kind of like I saw them last weekend. We started right back where we left off.
“Obviously, the environments are different, so those are different, but at the end of the day, I’ve had fun my whole career, and this is just going to reignite that spark, that fire that still was there, but it just needed some gasoline to throw on it to ignite it, and I think AEW’s gonna be that gasoline.”

Ricochet made his AEW Dynamite debut in a win over Kyle Fletcher on the August 28 episode. He then got into a confrontation with AEW International Champion Will Ospreay at AEW All Out.
