New details have emerged explaining why Ricochet deleted a controversial social media post earlier this week.
According to Fightful Select, AEW producer Chris Hero was among those who reached out to Ricochet following the tweet, which drew backlash after he told a fan he was “glad” she had multiple sclerosis. The post was removed the following day, with Ricochet issuing an apology shortly after.
Further context from Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio suggests the decision ultimately came after Ricochet spoke with a friend, who advised him to take the post down.
“And then what ended up happening was, one of his friends called him and said, ‘You know, you really should take the tweet down.’ So he took the tweet down,” Meltzer said, noting the apology was made voluntarily.
Ricochet Was Not Forced To Take The Post Down
There was no indication that AEW or Warner Bros. Discovery forced the decision; Ricochet chose to remove the post and address the situation himself after receiving advice. Ricochet is set to compete at the upcoming ROH x Maple Leaf Pro event, where he will face Rich Swann.
