Summary

Tony Khan said he spoke with Ricochet after Ricochet posted an offensive response to a fan about multiple sclerosis, and Khan made clear the comment crossed a line under AEW policy.

Ricochet had apologized earlier in the week after writing that he had taken out his frustration on the fan and others affected by MS. Khan was asked about the situation during the AEW Dynasty post-show press conference, the same media session where he also discussed other roster matters after the pay-per-view, including why Toni Storm was originally planned for AEW Dynasty.

Quote from Tony Khan

"I did, and I had a conversation with him. I have a good conversation and a frank talk. That was not acceptable and I think that was communicated. We have a policy and continues to be a policy in place for such things, and that violated it. There is no place for that in wrestling or anywhere. I do appreciate you asking, and we've tried to move past that, but thank you for asking,"

What this means for Ricochet in AEW

Khan publicly confirming that Ricochet violated AEW policy gives the story more weight than a routine apology. It puts the issue on the record as something the company addressed internally, not just a controversy left to social media.

Ricochet still picked up a win over Chris Jericho at AEW Dynasty, so there was no immediate on-screen change tied to the incident. Even so, Khan's comments signal that AEW wanted a firm public stance while continuing to move forward with Ricochet as part of its television mix.
