Fans delighted to witness Ricochet make His AEW debut

It was rumoured for weeks, and the move has finally been completed. Ricochet, who emerged as a fan favorite in WWE has made his AEW debut. The wrestler received a loud pop from the crowd present at the iconic Wembley, London. Moreover, fans on social media also had a welcoming response to Ricochet's sudden appearance. It is popular belief that WWE has never booked Ricochet well, and hence the wrestling fans from different corners were elated to witness him making his way to squared circle of AEW. Here are a few of the many reactions.

Considering he was reduced to a mid-carder in the WWE, fans are hoping that Ricochet gets his due in the Tony Khan-led venture.

With the talent it is now filled with, AEW is easily the biggest wrestling promotion after WWE. The company has formed a huge following in the short span of time and it seemly heading towards only one direction, which is upwards and onwards.
