Former WWE Superstar Gets Roasted on X After Calling Out Fan for Working Christmas Day

AEW star Ricochet recently found himself at the center of a social media storm after responding to a fan’s criticism with a controversial comment about working on Christmas Day.

The Twitter Exchange That Sparked Controversy

On December 26, 2024, Ricochet tweeted a response to a fan who had made a cutting remark about his promo skills. The fan, known as @AngelusHector, compared Ricochet’s promos to “two cats fisting each other in a birdcage.” Ricochet fired back, saying, “Shut up, that’s why you had to work on Christmas. Broke boy.”

However, instead of silencing his critic, Ricochet’s response led to an online backlash. The fan replied with a sharp retort: “You work once a week which gives you 6 days to work on your promos and you still can’t cut one on X.” This reply gained over 5,000 likes, with fans rallying behind the fan’s humor and criticism.

Ricochet’s Response Falls Flat

Attempting to regain control of the narrative, Ricochet responded with another tweet, accusing the fan of lacking originality: “Broke boy also isn’t very innovative. Same old sht. Nothing original inside his broke ass head hahaha.”* Unfortunately for Ricochet, this tweet failed to resonate, receiving far fewer likes compared to his critic’s comments.

The fan delivered a final blow with another jab: “Instead of toilet paper, they should’ve thrown your ass some cue cards. At least, it would dispel the illiterate rumors.” This quip earned another 3,200 likes, leaving Ricochet struggling to recover in the social media showdown.

Fan and Industry Reactions

The exchange highlighted the risks of engaging with critics on social media. While Ricochet’s response intended to assert confidence, it backfired, with many fans interpreting his comments as unprofessional. This incident has sparked discussions about how public figures navigate criticism online.

Ricochet’s social media spat underscores the importance of measured responses. As fans continue to discuss the incident, it remains a cautionary tale for wrestling stars about the potential pitfalls of engaging in public feuds with critics.
