Fans in the United States won’t have to wait long to see Ricochet compete inside an AEW ring.
As many had expected ahead of time, Ricochet officially became All Elite at All In and competed in his first match for the promotion in front of more than 50,000 fans inside Wembley Stadium in London, England.
After the show went off the air, Don Callis and Kyle Fletcher appeared in a backstage segment, with Callis expressing his delight that he would be able to have Fletcher crush the dreams of the newest signing before they began, issuing a challenge for the August 28th episode of Dynamite, which was later made official for the show.

Continuing the arguing on social media, Fletcher mocked the former WWE star for his reign as Speed Champion, to which the former champion responded with an insult of his own:
Wait…why is being a CHAMPION a bad thing?? Plus, I hate to say it but more people watch those matches than one of yours. But don’t worry, I’ll change that for you.
Also announced for the show is an appearance from the new World Champion Bryan Danielson.
Ricochet Leaves A Lasting Impression At All In
The high-flyer officially made his in-ring debut in the Casino Gauntlet match, which was filled with surprises including Nigel McGuinness’s first match in more than a decade and NJPW G1 Climax winner Zack Sabre Jr. Receiving a great reception from the crowd upon his arrival, Ricochet hit multiple high-impact moves before being taken out by Adam Page.
The match was won by Christian Cage, who has earned a World Championship match that he can receive at any time.
