A heated Twitter exchange recently erupted between AEW National Champion Ricochet and former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas, leaving fans and wrestling insiders stunned. The controversy centers around Ricochet’s WWE contract, with Korderas making claims that the high-flying superstar was not treated fairly by the Stamford-based promotion. In a scathing response, Ricochet unloaded on Korderas, dropping a few choice words that have sparked a fierce debate within the wrestling community.
The Twitter Tussle
On February 5, 2026, Jimmy Korderas took to Twitter to express his thoughts on Ricochet’s WWE contract. The former referee claimed that Ricochet was not offered a fair deal by the company, suggesting that he was underpaid and undervalued during his time in the WWE. However, Ricochet was quick to respond, firing back at Korderas with a series of explosive tweets.
“You’re a referee, Jimmy, not a contract negotiator,” Ricochet wrote. “If I was getting screwed over by the WWE, don’t you think I would’ve spoken up by now? I’m not some naive superstar who doesn’t know how the business works. You’re just mad because you’re not getting the same level of attention as you used to.”
Ricochet’s response was met with a mixture of support and criticism from fans and wrestling insiders. While some praised the AEW National Champion for standing up for himself, others felt that he crossed a line with his choice of language.
