Former AEW National Champion Ricochet recently faced online negative backlash over a controversial post he made on social media towards a fan.
Following the 2026 Revolution PPV event, AEW released a digital exclusive backstage video on Twitter featuring Ricochet reacting to his AEW National Championship loss in a Blackjack Battle Royale match at the event. One fan responded to the post with a tweet which said, “His acting hasn’t improved.” Ricochet responded back to this fan in a now deleted tweet stating “I’m glad you got MS” in reference to this fan who had revealed on social media that they suffer from multiple sclerosis.
Initially, Ricochet defended himself, noting that he and his wife frequently receive hateful messages from fans, including death wishes.
Ricochet issued an official statement on Tuesday apologizing for his hurtful comments towards the fan and those who are effected by MS.
