Top AEW Heel to Quit the Promotion on Dynamite: Fight for the Fallen?
The upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite, titled Fight for the Fallen, is set to be a TV special that will be simulcast on Max and TV. With four matches already announced, the event promises to be an exciting one. However, rumors are circulating that a top AEW heel may quit the promotion due to backstage frustration.
Recent Developments in AEW
In 2024, AEW signed numerous talents, including former WWE Superstar Ricochet. Initially, The Human Highlight Reel was a babyface, but he recently turned heel, and his villainous persona has been quite entertaining. He has been receiving a lot of heat from fans and has gotten considerable praise for his recent character work.
Ricochet's Storyline
A few weeks back, Ricochet received an offer to join The Hurt Syndicate, but the proposal was retracted by the group's manager, MVP, who called Ricochet a "people pleaser." Furthermore, at Worlds End, after his defeat to Kazuchika Okada, Swerve Strickland and fans in the arena humiliated Ricochet by throwing rolls of toilet paper at him. This could be the catalyst for Ricochet's frustration, leading him to quit the promotion as part of a storyline.
Possible Future Directions
After taking a short hiatus, Ricochet could return as a nonchalant heel and finally join The Hurt Syndicate. With a skilled talker like MVP by his side, Ricochet could take his career to the next level.
