Ricochet earned a massive victory this weekend at AEW Full Gear 2025, getting his first taste of championship gold in the company. The premier high-flyer has now taken to social media, celebrating his triumph at the pay-per-view along with his wife, Samantha Irvin.

Earlier this month, All Elite Wrestling unveiled a brand new title, the AEW National Championship, and revealed that the inaugural holder of the belt will be decided by a Casino Gauntlet Match at Full Gear 2025. The bout featured many of the company’s top names and athletes, including Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley, Claudio Castagnoli, Orange Cassidy, Kevin Knight, Mike Bailey and Ricochet, to name just a few of the competitors involved.

Ultimately, it was The Future of Flight who successfully captured the victory in the Casino Gauntlet bout, nailing Knight with his Spirit Gun finisher to secure his first singles title in All Elite Wrestling and becoming the first-ever AEW National Champion. Now, Ricochet has taken to X/Twitter to share a photograph of himself with his newly-won belt alongside his wife, former WWE announcer Samantha Irvin.

“Feels good to be champ! #Ahaa 👑,” wrote Ricochet in the caption.

Didn't a bunch of the old school guys have knee, back, hip, neck and all other types of surgeries/injuries?

Weren't they working smart?

You sound fucking dumb as shit.

Cornette fired back at The Human Highlight Reel by claiming that there was a distinction between modern spots and bumps from back in the day, going so far as to state that Ricochet and his peers “steal money” from Tony Khan by way of critiquing their work.
