AEW’s Ricochet Apologizes for ‘I’m Glad You Got MS’ Tweet as Calls for Discipline Grow

AEW has issued no public response despite mounting calls for discipline.

Overview

  • Ricochet deleted the reply to a fan whose bio referenced multiple sclerosis and later posted an apology saying he “took out [his] hatred for the IWC” and would do better.
  • He left the remark up for hours and fired off profane, combative tweets before backtracking, with the targeted fan subsequently protecting her X account.
  • Dave Meltzer reported Ricochet removed the post after a friend’s advice but decided on his apology himself, adding he has heard nothing from AEW regarding action.
  • Industry voices and fans are pressing for consequences, with some urging termination and Bryan Alvarez suggesting his job could be at risk by week’s end.
  • ClutchPoints noted Ricochet did not appear on the March 18 Dynamite broadcast, and coverage reported his wife, Samantha Irvin, deactivated her account after receiving threats.
