    Ricochet.

    Ricochet made his AEW debut on Sunday as part of the Casino Gauntlet at All-In. He was a surprise entrant in the tournament, making his debut in front of 55,000 fans at Wembley Arena. Christian Cage won the match and got a future shot at the World Championship, courtesy of help from long-time enforcer Luchasaurus.

    Despite losing on his debut, Booker T believes Ricochet has landed in the best company to maximize his talent. The WWE Hall of Famer's comments came via a recent episode of his "Hall of Fame" podcast.

    "I’m glad to see Ricochet have a soft landing. Kid can work, man," Booker T said. He’s definitely an extraordinary talent. He’s definitely a next-level talent. I just feel like he fits a whole lot better in an AEW-like system, better than a WWE system."

    Ricochet is set to face Kyle Fletcher in his first singles match on Wednesday's episode of Dynamite. After a Gauntlet match where he flashed his acrobatic skillset, Ricochet can truly begin winning over the fanbase.

    Will Ospreay has been vocal about what the former Lucha Underground talent can bring to the table and has challenged him to put on some fantastic matches now that he's arrived in Tony Khan's company.

    "Remind everybody who the f--k you are, Bruv," Ospreay said during an appearance on talkSPORT Radio in England. "Because you, without a shadow of a doubt, were the man. Dragon Gate, PWG, the Indies around the world. No one could f---ing touch you. So I'm calling you out, Bruv. I am saying, remind the world that you are one of the best to have ever done this s--t, man. Because I believe it."

    Fletcher could be Ricochet's ideal first opponent. Their clash of styles could create an exciting battle full of highlights and breathtaking spots. Now that he's in AEW, Ricochet can rediscover who he was before WWE shackled his in-ring production.

    It won't take long before Ricochet is consistently one of the best performers on AEW's roster and potentially one of the most essential wrestlers.
