In a shocking social media outburst, AEW National Champion Ricochet has fired back at former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas, who claimed in a recent Twitter post that Ricochet and his team had misrepresented their WWE contract discussions. The explosive exchange has sent shockwaves through the professional wrestling world, leaving many to wonder what’s really going on behind the scenes.
The Controversy Begins
On February 5, 2026, Korderas took to Twitter to express his frustration with Ricochet and his management team, alleging that they had misled the public about their contract negotiations with WWE. Korderas claimed that Ricochet had been “spinning” their discussions to make himself look better, and that the truth was far more complex.
However, Ricochet was not one to let the criticism slide. Taking to his own social media account, he fired back at Korderas with a scathing response, dropping an F-bomb in the process. The AEW champion accused Korderas of spreading “lies” and “misinformation” about his contract talks, and warned him to “keep it real” or face the consequences.
Backstage Reaction: Was Korderas Out of Line?
Sources close to the AEW locker room have revealed that Ricochet’s teammates and fellow superstars were caught off guard by the sudden and aggressive response. “Ricochet’s outburst was a surprise to many of us,” said a WWE insider, who wished to remain anonymous. “While we all know Jimmy Korderas can be a bit of a loose cannon, we didn’t think Ricochet would take it that far.”
According to the insider, Ricochet’s management team had been trying to keep a lid on the situation, but ultimately decided to let Ricochet speak his mind. “Ricochet’s team was trying to downplay the whole thing, but in the end, they decided to let him handle it himself,” the source revealed. “They figured it was better to let him address the situation directly, rather than having it blow up in their faces later on.”
The Fallout: What’s Next for Ricochet and WWE?
The controversy surrounding Korderas’ comments and Ricochet’s response has left many wondering what’s next for the AEW champion and his relationship with WWE. While it’s unclear whether the two will be able to put their differences aside, one thing is certain: the drama has put a major spotlight on WWE’s contract negotiations.
WWE insiders have revealed that the company has been working tirelessly to retain top talent, including Ricochet, who has been a key player in AEW’s success. However, with the recent developments, it’s unclear whether Ricochet’s relationship with WWE has been irreparably damaged.
A War of Words: Ricochet Fires Back at Korderas
In a series of explosive Twitter posts, Ricochet took aim at Korderas, calling him a “liar” and a “hypocrite” for spreading misinformation about his contract talks. “You want to talk about lying, Jimmy?” Ricochet tweeted. “At least I’m not still working for a company that thinks it’s above the law. You should focus on keeping it real, rather than trying to spin your own web of deceit.”
Korderas, however, has refused to back down, insisting that he was simply telling the truth about Ricochet’s contract negotiations. “I’m not afraid of Ricochet’s insults or his Twitter tantrums,” Korderas tweeted in response. “If you can’t handle the truth, then maybe you shouldn’t be in this business.”
Conclusion
The war of words between Ricochet and Korderas has left many in the professional wrestling world scratching their heads. While it’s unclear what the future holds for the two, one thing is certain: the drama has put a major spotlight on WWE’s contract negotiations and the complex web of relationships between superstars, management, and the media.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Ricochet and Korderas are at war, and it’s anyone’s guess who will emerge victorious.
