MVP has revealed that Ricochet was the original choice to join The Hurt Syndicate when the group formed in AEW. Speaking on his “Marking Out” podcast with Ricochet as a guest, MVP discussed the initial plans.
“Because Cedric was still under contract, we were coming over, and at the time you were still negotiating, there were a lot of pieces. We’re like, ‘Okay, we’re gonna reunite and we’re gonna Ricochet’s gonna have that spot.’ But in our business, we have the saying: card subject to change.”
He explained that while he wanted Ricochet in the group, he thinks things worked out for the best.
“We did that spot in the ring with Bobby when he snatched you up, and that was supposed to have been like, where we start initiating Ricochet and where his character changes. He goes, and he becomes, ‘I hurt people,’ but as things sometimes happen organically, his career path went a completely different way, and selfishly, like I wanted him in the Hurt Syndicate, but I dare say things worked out better for you as they are.”
