Tony Khan puts over this AEW star as “hot booking” for the promotion.
At AEW Full Gear, All Elite Wrestling crowned its inaugural National Champion when Ricochet bested 11 other men in a Casino Gauntlet match. His next pay-per-view title defense is scheduled for Ring of Honor’s Final Battle against Dalton Castle this Friday.
During a recent appearance on the Battleground Podcast, Tony Khan teased his booking direction for Ricochet, noting that the AEW National Champion has received significant interest from promotions around the world.
“We’ve got a new National Champion, Ricochet, who will be defending that title all over the world and somebody that not only AEW fans respect, I believe, as a great, great wrestler, but somebody that is a huge name in wrestling and a great person to represent AEW here on our TV shows but also traveling to other promotions,” Khan said.
“In America, companies like Ring of Honor, but also New Japan STRONG, and traveling to Mexico with CMLL and lots of other promotions wanna bring in Ricochet. He’s a hot booking right now as the National Champion. So, that’s a great thing for us…” [H/T: Fightful]
