Ricochet believes he made the right call by leaving WWE when he did to join Tony Khan's AEW. In fact, the high-flyer says it doesn't even feel odd to call himself #AllElite, because AEW "already feels like a home for [him]".

Rico told Sports Illustrated that ending his six-year WWE run was obviously a big decision, but the correct one. He said he'd been watching enviously as AEW stars (many he knows personally) had cracking, lengthy matches. Ricochet wanted some of that for himself, because he was "missing the opportunity to shine".

However, Rico refused to bury Triple H or WWE throughout the interview. He just reiterated that he made the best possible decision for himself, and is now looking forward to making some magic over on the other channel. Working with some already on All Elite's books around the world is when Ricochet had "the most fun" in his career.

He's right up for experiencing some more of that after debuting in Wembley Stadium at All In London then scoring his first win over Kyle Fletcher on Wednesday's episode of Dynamite.
