Folks, brace yourselves because Ricochet is back on the move—this time, he’s dusting off his passport and taking his high-flying talents back to Japan! After stirring the AEW pot and making eyes at International Champion Will Ospreay, Ricochet has decided to take a little detour into familiar territory, but with a twist: he’s reuniting with a legendary face from his past.
That’s right, the man of a thousand flips will make his debut for GLEAT on October 6 in Osaka, where he’ll be teaming up with none other than former AEW star and Japanese wrestling legend, CIMA. Talk about pulling out the nostalgia card! These two were tearing up rings worldwide when TikTok was just an app for kids who wanted to dance in their bedrooms.
In a video that screamed confidence (and maybe a touch of humblebragging), Ricochet announced, “You know who it is, I don’t need no introduction… but here I am anyway!” (Okay, Ricochet, we see you.) Not only is he ready to set Japan on fire, but he’s doing it alongside his former tag partner and sensei, CIMA. Together, they’ll be delivering some high-octane wrestling action for the first time since, well, Ricochet had a mohawk.
Their history is a walk down championship memory lane, from dominating in Dragon Gate as the WARRIORS and Spiked Mohicans, to capturing tag titles across the globe. They were slapping on the gold like it was going out of style. Now, after a brief stint in WWE that kept Ricochet away from the Japanese scene, the dynamic duo is back together, ready to remind Osaka why they were such a lethal combo.
So if you’ve missed seeing Ricochet’s gravity-defying moves with CIMA’s expert ring work, October 6 in Osaka is where you want to be.
