A playful social media exchange erupted this week between AEW National Champion Ricochet and former WWE Women’s Champion Bayley, sparked by the action on TNA iMPACT!. After watching Jeff Hardy defeat Mustafa Ali on Thursday’s show, Bayley took to X to praise Ali’s performance, writing, “Man. There is nobody like @MustafaAli_X 🤯 @ThisIsTNA.”
Ricochet, who has a history with Ali from their time in WWE, couldn’t resist chiming in to remind Bayley of his own record. The high-flyer responded simply, “I’ve beat him.” Bayley, never one to back down from banter, promptly fired back with a single-word, all-caps retort: “BALD!”
This wasn’t Ricochet’s only interaction with his former colleagues this week. He also took time to offer advice to WWE United States Champion Carmelo Hayes, telling the young star to show some respect to veteran The Miz. The cross-promotional interactions continue to blur the lines between the rosters in the digital space.
