"How is this possible," "He actually did something for once!"- Fans go berserk after Ricochet wins his first title in AEW

Ricochet had one of his major moments at AEW Full Gear 2025 pay-per-view after winning his first title in the promotion. However, his victory drew the attention of fans online, who had mixed reactions.

The One and Only was the third entrant in the Casino Gauntlet match to determine the inaugural AEW National Champion. He came down after the first two participants and Hurt Syndicate members, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, were hesitant to combat against each other. The former WWE United States Champion berated both of them and faced their wrath before being saved by the Gates of Agony.

As the match picked up pace, multiple entrants, including Kevin Knight, Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia, and Mark Davis, competed in the high-stakes showdown. However, the final moments of the bout saw Ricochet take down Kevin Knight with a Spirit Gun, right after he delivered a UFO splash on Wheeler Yuta, and pinned Knight to win the AEW National Championship.

The Future of Flight's remarkable victory garnered the reactions of wrestling fans on social media. There was a section of fans who were thrilled to see him win his first title in All Elite Wrestling and congratulated him for the same.

@AEW @KingRicochet Deserved.

At the same time, Ricochet had his fair share of netizens who either mocked him or showered negative comments for his historic win. Interestingly, one fan even pointed out that this was not possible, citing that Bron Breakker had laid a major assault on him and put him out of his action, which became his final WWE appearance.

@AEW @KingRicochet Wait, how is this possible? I thought Bron put him out for a long time...

Despite overwhelming fan reaction, Ricochet has created history in AEW. He will forever lay claim to being the first-ever AEW National Champion in history, winning her first piece of gold since debuting for All Elite Wrestling in 2024. With a new shining belt and the same ruthless attitude, it will be interesting to see his title reign in the company.
