The highly anticipated dream rematch between Will Ospreay and Ricochet has been made official for the October 2 episode of AEW Dynamite.

The company will be celebrating the 5-year anniversary of their flagship weekly show in two weeks time and they have begun to build up the card for the event.

Ospreay had told Ricochet last week that he needed to stack some wins up in order to challenge for the International Title and give fans the match they want.

This week’s episode of the Wednesday night show then saw the newest AEW signee picking up a singles win over The Beast Mortos with Vertigo.

Ricochet was approached by Will Ospreay backstage later on. The former NXT star revealed that Tony Khan has granted him a title shot against his ‘little bro’ at the upcoming show:



A rematch between the current AEW International Champion and the former WWE star has been teased ever since the latter made his AEW debut at the All In PPV last month.

These two stars have clashed a number of times in the indies. They first stepped in the ring with each other at back in 2013 during a RevPro show in the UK.

The one bout that everyone remembers, however, is their Korakuen Hall encounter back in May 2016. The NJPW match went viral for its fast-paced action and gravity-defying moves, dividing the opinions of wrestling fans all across the world.

The duo has not had a chance to dance together since 2017. Both the stars have gone through an incredible transformation since then. It’d be interesting to see how they fare against each other after so many years.
