Ricochets solo run in AEW hasnt seen much success lately, which is why he is currently planning on creating a new faction for himself. While theres no confirmation who will join him, he has revealed what kind of stars he is looking for.
While speaking to K104, Ricochet was asked what he needed in his new faction and he explained that hes still figuring it out. Hes looking for people who can get the job done, but there are a lot of factors to consider. He admitted the process wont be quick and even mentioned he might recruit talent from other factions. Right now, hes keeping a close eye on everyone.
Ricochet said he needs to test different wrestlers to see who fits. It could be someone already in a faction, two singles competitors or even a tag team. The truth is he doesnt know yet.
Ricochet is relying on what he calls the eye test, watching closely to see who has what it takes. He referenced how MJF had to hurt someone to join the Hurt Syndicate, suggesting hes looking for people willing to go the extra mile and do whatever it takes, just like Ricochet.
When asked about Will Ospreay possibly joining his group to help him win a title, Ricochet was hesitant. He said Ospreay still has a lot to learn, not just in wrestling but in life.
Ricochet believes Ospreay cant always take the nice or easy route and needs more life experience before hed be ready to join him. Ricochet described Ospreay as still being a bit immature, like a baby deer, but admitted that he could possibly be considered in the future.
We will have to wait and see whether Ricochet will end up taking some underutilized stars under his wing and form his new faction, as fans are definitely interested in seeing what he will do in the end.
