Tony Khan says he spoke to Ricochet following controversial social media post
Moments after AEW Dynasty, company president Tony Khan revealed having a conversation with Ricochet over his controversial social media post.
At the AEW Dynasty post-show media scrum, Joel Pearl of Fightful’s In The Weeds asked Khan about Ricochet’s controversial social media comment and if he had a chance to engage in a conversation with him.
Khan claimed that he had a conversation and emphasized how Ricochet’s comments were not “acceptable.” He also confirmed having social media policies and how they were violated by Ricochet.
“I did, and I had a conversation with him. I have a good conversation and a frank talk. That was not acceptable, and I think that was communicated. We have a policy and continues to be a policy in place for such things, and that violated it. There is no place for that in wrestling or anywhere. I do appreciate you asking, and we’ve tried to move past that, but thank you for asking,” he said.
In March earlier this year, Ricochet engaged in a controversial, heated moment on social media after he responded to a fan with a harsh tweet after the fan criticized him. Shortly after, he apologized for his comment and behavior.
Several weeks have gone by since the incident, and Khan made it clear that they want to move past it now.
At AEW Dynasty, Ricochet faced and defeated a returning Chris Jericho.
