A fan comment praising WWE NXT star Je’Von Evans as the “best young prospect” ignited a fiery cross-promotional exchange on Twitter/X between Evans and AEW’s Ricochet. After Ricochet responded dismissively that he would “squash” the NXT talent, the two traded increasingly personal insults.
Evans fired back, highlighting his current training environment: “My Bad. I Just Got Done Training At The Performance Center, Under Shawn Michaels. Something That You Don’t Have Or Do BUT, I Bet Yo Brown Egg Head Ass Would Squash Me If Tony Told You To🤷🏾♂️Much Love OG❤️🔥”
Ricochet retorted by referencing his own history and accomplishments. “Brother, I was learning from Shawn Michaels when you was like 12. Then went on to become multiple time Champion. Let me know when you win one, little boy,” Ricochet posted, adding he’d beat Evans if AEW owner Tony Khan asked.
Evans escalated sharply, mocking Ricochet’s current position in AEW and controversially referencing AEW’s owner, Tony Khan: “Now, You’re Wrestling In Front Of 2,000 People, Every Week, For A Crackhead. Talk About An Upgrade Am I Right??😂… You Had To Come For A Successful Ass Youngin💯” He claimed Ricochet was using him for attention.
Ricochet ended the visible exchange by mocking NXT’s venue size: “How many people does the PC hold? Bahahaha but keep up the energy. It makes you look cool.”
Sounds Like Mr. Khan Isn’t Giving You Enough Attention. Sooooooooo, You Had To Come For A Successful Ass Youngin💯You’re Giving Me The Most Views On My Post And I’m Finally Helping You Get The Most Attention You’ve Ever Had In Your Career🤷🏾♂️All Love😉❤️🔥
