Ricochet discusses AEW locker room culture and PAC tribute match

Wrestler Ricochet has addressed both the internal culture of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and his recent emotional experience performing in a tribute match for the late PAC.

Reflecting on the September 30 episode of AEW Dynamite in Pittsburgh, Ricochet spoke about his match against Will Ospreay, which served as a tribute to PAC, who passed away on September 27 at age 40. Ricochet noted that focusing on the match helped him navigate the grief of losing a longtime friend, stating that the need to concentrate on the performance provided a necessary distraction.

Additionally, Ricochet defended the AEW locker room against online reports suggesting a dysfunctional backstage environment. He stated that while various personalities and egos exist, the vast majority of the roster is focused on the success of the company. He compared the current atmosphere to his time on the independent circuit, where performers work together to improve the show.
