Former WWE Star Ricochet Cheers Jon Moxley Ahead of His First-Ever AEW Dynamite Showdown

Published:

A former WWE superstar now competing in AEW has drawn attention by publicly supporting Jon Moxley ahead of his upcoming AEW Dynamite match. Moxley is set to face Kevin Knight next week in their first encounter, marking an important moment for both men in AEW.

Following a dominant victory over “Speedball” Mike Bailey on this week’s Dynamite, Jon Moxley turned his focus toward his AEW partner Kevin Knight, announcing a highly anticipated match between them for the next episode of AEW’s flagship show. The Jacksonville-based promotion quickly confirmed the bout on X, with Knight responding enthusiastically by posting “Showtime.” Among the responses, former WWE Intercontinental Champion Ricochet’s enthusiastic message supporting Moxley caught the wrestling community’s attention.

While Ricochet’s reasons for backing Moxley remain unclear, his energetic support did not go unnoticed. The 36-year-old posted an encouraging message, rallying the crowd behind Moxley for his match against Knight:

“Lets go Mox! Lets go Mox! Lets go Mox! Lets go Mox! Lets go Mox!,” wrote Ricochet.

Ricochet’s Reaction to Gates of Agony’s Contract Renewal with AEW

Ricochet recently formed an alliance with the tag team known as Gates of Agony, featuring Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona, after months of searching for reliable partners. The group, abbreviated as GOA, began appearing together at events in late June, supporting each other during matches. Reports have now confirmed that Kaun and Liona have signed long-term contracts with AEW, news that sparked a joyful response from Ricochet.

This development is significant for Ricochet, whose pursuit of a solid team stems from his goal to ascend within AEW and capture championship gold. Whether GOA will elevate Ricochet to that next level remains to be seen, but their renewed commitment to the promotion signals a potential shift in his fortunes.

Upcoming High-Stakes Clash Could Define AEW Careers
