Ricochet recently took a shot at Chris Jericho

When Jericho returned to AEW after a year-long absence, he was involved in a feud with Ricochet. The two men locked horns in a singles match at AEW Dynasty 2026. The One and Only star was able to defeat Jericho with the Lionsault.

Following the match, AEW cameras caught up with Ricochet, who did not mince his words as he took some shots at the former World Champion.

“All my frequent flyers out there, this is your captain speaking. And what did I say? What did I say, huh? What did I say? What did I say, huh? I told Chris Jericho, I said, pack it all up. I told him to get out of my ring and never come back to AEW again before he actually got himself hurt, didn’t I? That’s what I said. And what did he do? What did he do? He disregarded everything that I had to say. He signed his little contract, and what happened? The stupid idiot got himself hurt. And hey, not to disregard Chris Jericho, he’s one of the greatest to ever do it. He’s one of the greatest to ever do it. He’s one of my favorite wrestlers. Honestly, he still is to this day. But Chris Jericho, when you don’t listen to me, you get hurt. And that’s what happened.”

It remains to be seen if Jericho will get a rematch against Ricochet.
