Ricochet has just achieved a major milestone within AEW following him becoming the inaugural National Champion at Full Gear last weekend. He is set to defend this belt outside the company next week.

The belt is said to be greatly inspired by the NWA National title, and the titleholder will defend this in major companies around the world. This may lead him to some promotions affiliated with AEW, such as CMLL, NJPW, RevPro, and many others. There will be a great pool of talent that could go after this.

It has just been announced that Ricochet's first title defense will come next week at ROH Final Battle. His opponent has yet to be revealed, but this will be the first time that an AEW championship will be defended in Ring of Honor.

This will be The One and Only's third time competing on the promotion, as he was featured in a dark match in 2009, and he was in action during the taped ROH show during Chris Jericho's Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager At Sea event earlier this year.

Ricochet may have rekindled an old feud with a former AEW World Champion

The former WWE Superstar has a habit of continuously running his mouth and never knowing when to stop. This has got him into various feuds during his time with AEW, and is one trait that has helped solidify his persona as a heel.

Recently, Swerve Strickland made his return to the promotion. He has been teaming up alongside 'Hangman' Adam Page as they are feuding with The Opps. Swerve posted a picture of him and Hangman taking the fight to the members of The Opps Dojo, choking them with steel chains.

Ricochet replied to this, calling them "Dumb n' Dumber." Swerve has responded to this, as he claimed that he would wrap his chain around the leader of The Demand instead.

"I'll stop you from breathing," Strickland wrote on X

Swerve Strickland and Ricochet were in a feud to start the year. If he continues to provoke him, this may be the fuel to begin this rivalry once more. The AEW National Championship may soon switch hands should this happen, with Swerve looking as dangerous as ever.
