Ricochet isnt doubling down on his anti-WWE comments hes now walking them back. After previously accusing WWE of killing legacies and draining his love for wrestling, the AEW National Champion has now softened his stance. Speaking to Josh Martinez on February 26, 2026, Ricochet addressed the backlash to his viral remarks and made it clear theres a major misconception about how he feels regarding his time in WWE. When asked what people get wrong about him, Ricochet immediately pointed to the narrative that he hated his entire WWE run. Thats a noticeable change from his earlier tweets, where he claimed WWE kills the love of wrestling. Now, hes drawing a line between creative frustration and personal experience. He explained that while he may not have been positioned the way he hoped, he still took pride in what he accomplished. Ricochet also made it clear that relationships built backstage remain meaningful to him, specifically mentioning Big E and the support he received during tough periods. He then clarified that his original criticism was focused purely on the wrestling side of things not the company as a whole. In the end, Ricochet framed his WWE exit as a matter of creative fit rather than bitterness. Its a far more measured tone than his earlier tweets. While he still stands by the idea that he wasnt used to his fullest potential, Ricochet is now acknowledging the friendships, memories, and platform he gained during his five-year run.
