Below are some top AEW news stories of the day, involving Mercedes Mone and Ricochet.
• AEW Rampage saw chaos unfold as Kamille was found brutally attacked backstage, with speculation centering on Mercedes Moné and her faction, the Moné Cooperation.
A cryptic tweet from Moné hinting at retribution has fueled rumors of her involvement, possibly signaling a calculated move to solidify her dominance.
Adding intrigue, Sean Ross Sapp suggested the Renegade Twins, rising stars from the indy scene, could soon join Moné’s ranks. Their bold in-ring style and chemistry might align perfectly with Moné’s ruthless leadership, especially following Kamille’s fallout with her.
Moné’s ominous tweet, “There’s a price to pay when you mess with #Moné,” has fans wondering if the attack was her solo act or part of a larger plan.

• Ricochet recently claimed his contributions to wrestling helped lay the groundwork for AEW’s creation.
Speaking to 1035 KISSFM, he highlighted his influential matches with wrestlers like Will Ospreay, Pac, and AR Fox, as well as his work in promotions like Dragon Gate, PWG, and New Japan Pro Wrestling, as pivotal in shaping modern wrestling.
While acknowledging others like The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and Ospreay, Ricochet argued that his passion and efforts played a significant role in creating the environment that made AEW possible.
He also stated that without him, Will Ospreay might not have reached his current prominence, concluding that his style and history make him a perfect fit for All Elite Wresting.
Here’s what the former WWE Intercontinental Champion said:
“I mean, I think, come on, let’s be like, and I’m not saying that I am the sole reason, I’m just saying, if there wasn’t Ricochet, there would not be AEW. Again, I’m not saying I’m the sole reason that it happened, but I’m just saying I feel like what I have done, you know with Ospreay, Pac, AR Fox, with Dragon Gate, with PWG, with everything, you know, overseas, you know, New Japan, everything — I feel like what I have done in my past career helps set up a world where AEW can exist, you know?
And I’m not saying it’s just me. It’s me, it’s The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, it’s Ospreay, it’s, it’s, it’s… it’s everybody. But I’m just saying, without Ricochet, there’d be no Ospreay, really, you know what I’m saying?
But uh, leading in, I think, you know, just all of us guys, our passion — without that, there would be no AEW. So I think I am a good fit.”
