A recent episode of the Battleground Podcast featured AEW CEO Tony Khan. One of the topics discussed included Khan’s thoughts about how there have been lots of wrestling promotions who currently want to bring in Ricochet for him to defend his new AEW National Championship at their shows.
“We’ve got a new National Champion, Ricochet, who will be defending that title all over the world and somebody that not only AEW fans respect, I believe, as a great, great wrestler, but somebody that is a huge name in wrestling and a great person to represent AEW here on our TV shows but also traveling to other promotions. In America, companies like Ring of Honor, but also New Japan STRONG, and traveling to Mexico with CMLL and lots of other promotions wanna bring in Ricochet. He’s a hot booking right now as the National Champion. So, that’s a great thing for us…”
Khan also gave his thoughts about how the upcoming new AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship can also be defended in other promotions similar to the AEW National title.
“Absolutely. We would defend those Women’s Tag Team Titles from AEW in any promotion, and whoever wins this tournament, they’re gonna be great representatives.”
