Darby Allin only wants to wrestle Ricochet if the former WWE star is committed to AEW.
Ricochet debuted in AEW at All In on Sunday. He was a surprise appearance in the Casino Gauntlet match that was eventually won by Christian Cage.
Darby Allin spoke with the Metro about Ricochet debuting in AEW, prior to AEW All In 2024. The former TNT Champion said that he would like to wrestle people who have “a point to prove”, but not anybody with an ego.
He also added that he doesn’t think Ricochet had the “DNA” to not give 100% in a match. Finally, Darby Allin added that he doesn’t want to wrestle people who treat AEW “like a summer vacation”, hoping that Ricochet doesn’t see it that way.
“I’d like to wrestle with anybody that has a point to prove. So, yeah, if he has a point to prove, he’s got that chip on his shoulder, let’s do it.”
“I don’t want to wrestle anybody that has this ego and they’re just gonna phone it in today. Like, that’s when I get pissed off. You know, people that are just so ungrateful. I want to wrestle people that are grateful, and I want to wrestle people that have a chip on their shoulder.”
“Don’t come in here and expect that this is, like – take the night off and phone them in. Because I don’t think any of those – I don’t think he would ever do that. That’s not in his DNA to do that,’ he conceded.”
“But you know, other people that try to come here and treat it like summer vacation, like, get the f**k outta here! I don’t want to wrestle those people.”
