A former WWE Superstar has set his sights on capturing the newly introduced AEW National Championship, unveiled on the latest episode of Dynamite. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion, Ricochet, expressed his strong desire to claim the new title.
On this past Wednesday’s Dynamite, AEW President Tony Khan revealed the brand-new AEW National Championship. Excitingly, the new title will be defended not only within AEW but also across various promotions such as ROH, NJPW, CMLL, and more. To crown the inaugural champion, a Casino Gauntlet match is scheduled to take place at the upcoming Full Gear 2025 pay-per-view.
During Dynamite, Ricochet, along with The Hurt Syndicate and The Demand, engaged in discussions and friendly debates about who might emerge victorious and win the prestigious new title. Fans on the social media platform X speculated about the upcoming Casino Gauntlet match at Full Gear, with one fan commenting, “We’re getting another title at Full Gear.”
Ricochet quickly responded to the fan’s post, confidently correcting them by stating, “*Ricochet is getting another title at Full Gear,” showcasing his determination to be the first to hold the AEW National Championship.
### Former WWE Champion JBL Praises Ricochet’s AEW Journey
Ricochet’s efforts in AEW have not gone unnoticed. Former WWE World Champion JBL recently shared his admiration for Ricochet during an interview on the *Something to Wrestle* podcast. JBL praised Ricochet both for his in-ring skills and his savvy use of social media to promote himself and the AEW product.
“I love what Ricochet’s doing. He seems like a great guy, and every time I talk to him, I really like him, personally,” JBL said. “What he’s done with social media, I think, he’s been fantastic. He’s always creating something controversial. He always sticks up for his product. But he always finds a way to put himself over, and he does a great job of doing that. I love what he’s doing. I think it’s perfect for both AEW and for himself.”
### Looking Ahead to Full Gear 2025
As Full Gear 2025 approaches, Ricochet is set to compete in the highly anticipated Casino Gauntlet match for the AEW National Championship. Whether he will capture the title and become the inaugural champion remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Ricochet’s determination and momentum in AEW make him a top contender to watch.
