AEW has evolved into a promotion heavily influenced by various factions. Groups like Death Riders, The Elite, The Heart Syndicate, and Don Karis’ family consistently dominate championship scenes and screen time on Tony Khan’s platform.
During the May 28th episode of AEW Dynamite, Ricochet observed this trend and decided that forming his own faction would aid his pursuit of championship gold within AEW. Considering the roster and potential candidates, seven AEW wrestlers stand out as possible recruits for Ricochet’s new faction.
One notable candidate is Max Caster. Despite a lack of success in singles competition since The Acclaimed split, Max Caster’s confidence remains high. Known as the self-proclaimed “Bestresler Alive,” he has been enduring a lengthy losing streak. However, he is a former AEW World Tag Team Champion alongside Anthony Bowens and a former World Trios Champion with Bowens and Billy Gunn. Recognizing the value of having loyal allies, Ricochet sees Max Caster as someone who can not only support him but also take on the role of protector and obstacle for his opponents. This partnership could significantly boost Ricochet’s chances in his quest for titles.
