MVP says the original plan for Ricochet in AEW was scheduled to be a lot different.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Ricochet was a recent guest on Marking Out With MVP & Dwayne Swayze. During the episode, MVP revealed the original plan for Ricochet coming into the company was to be the fourth member of The Hurt Syndicate.
“Because Cedric was still under contract, we were coming over, and at the time you were still negotiating, there were a lot of pieces,” MVP recalled. “We’re like, ‘Okay, we’re gonna reunite and Ricochet’s gonna have that spot, but in our business, we have the saying: card subject to change.
“We did that spot in the ring with Bobby when he snatched you up. And that was supposed to have been like, where we start initiating Ricochet and where his character changes.
“As things sometimes happen organically, his career path went a completely different way, and selfishly, like I wanted him in the Hurt Syndicate, but I dare say things worked out better for you as they are.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
