The battle between AEW and WWE just got a little more personal — and Ricochet isn’t holding back.
After reports surfaced that WWE is planning to run NXT Heatwave on the same night as AEW’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view — Sunday, August 24 — AEW star Ricochet took to Twitter with a two-word reaction that said it all: “Bitch move.”
The post was in response to the latest update, which revealed WWE’s plan to run the event in South Carolina, potentially at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. What makes this standoff more intense is that the call reportedly came directly from TKO executives, continuing a pattern of counterprogramming that’s already been seen with WWE stacking shows against AEW ALL IN weekend.
Now, with Forbidden Door and NXT Heatwave set to collide, Ricochet’s comment pours gasoline on an already brewing fire — one that fans on both sides are fueling.
This isn’t just about scheduling anymore. It’s about pride, territory, and two companies refusing to back down. And with Ricochet — a former WWE star himself — now speaking up, expect this conversation to heat up fast.
