As Will Ospreay prepares to challenge Roderick Strong for the AEW International Championship at Double Or Nothing, the spotlight has shifted to his fascinating history with WWE’s Ricochet. The two wrestling veterans have shared the ring numerous times, with Ospreay holding a 5-4 lead in their singles matches. The online community is abuzz with speculation about a potential rematch, and Ospreay himself has expressed interest in revisiting their epic rivalry.
Their storied past dates back to October 2013, when Ospreay, then a rising star, faced Ricochet for the first time at RevPro. Although he came up short, their subsequent matches in promotions like EVOLVE, NJPW, PWG, OTT, and WCPW showcased their incredible in-ring chemistry.
The duo has clashed eight times in singles matches, with an additional eleven multi-person bouts under their belts.
A recent social media post reignited the buzz around their rivalry, featuring a highlight reel from their 28-minute classic at NJPW’s Best of the Super Juniors in 2017. Ospreay, responding to the clip, wondered aloud what a rematch would look like almost seven years on. While Ricochet has yet to publicly respond, the prospect of their next encounter has fans salivating.
Meanwhile, Ospreay’s focus remains on his upcoming title shot at Double Or Nothing. Having won seven straight matches since returning to All Elite Wrestling full-time, he’s riding a wave of momentum.
His undefeated streak gives him a golden opportunity to make history by capturing the International Championship. It remains to be seen if he can overcome Roderick Strong and etch his name into the record books.
As the wrestling world eagerly anticipates Ospreay’s title challenger, the whispers of a Ricochet rematch linger in the background. While AEW takes center stage with Double Or Nothing, fans can’t help but speculate about the potential fireworks that could erupt if these two high-flying stars meet again in the future. For now, Ospreay’s sights are set on gold, but the door remains open for a thrilling reencounter with Ricochet down the line.
