Ricochet vs. Zack Gowen Announced for May 14th Dynamite Beach Break 2025

Thursday’s AEW Collision show at the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit, Michigan featured the first of two new matches announced for the card of next week’s Dynamite Beach Break 2025 show.

This new match announced was a singles match of Ricochet vs. Zack Gowen.

This match was setup following a confrontation between Ricochet and Gowen during tonight’s show. Following Ricochet’s victory over Angelico, Ricochet left the ring and grabbed a microphone. Ricochet made his way towards Gowen who was in the crowd at ringside and proceeded to mock and insult him. This led to security guards coming out and Ricochet beating them all up. This then led to Gowen leaping over the barricade and stopped Ricochet from cutting up a security guard’s hair with his scissors. This led to Ricochet backing away at first but this was just a ruse for him to attack Gowen while he was not paying attention. Ricochet then yanked off Gowen’s prosthetic leg and walked away with it and mocked Gowen in the process.

In a follow-up, it was announced that Ricochet will be facing off against Gowen at next week’s Dynamite Beach Break 2025 show.
