AEW's Ricochet calls his 2019 WWE stint the worst career period, saying it erased his identity and damaged his legacy.

Ricochet, AEW National Champion, says his 2019 WWE main roster stint was the worst period of his career, claiming the experience erased his authentic identity and damaged his legacy. Speaking on The Mark Hoke Show and social media, he compared the time to being “blipped” like in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, saying WWE altered public perception of his high-flying style and diminished his passion. Though he acknowledges positive personal experiences and some strong matches, he feels his true self returned in AEW, where he now feels fulfilled. His remarks have sparked debate about WWE’s impact on performers’ careers.
