Ricochet and Fox have a history that dates all the way back to 2010, when the two first met for a match in Combat Zone Wrestling. The pair also shared the ring numerous times in Pro Wrestling Guerilla, as well as facing each other in a memorable match on "Lucha Underground." The upcoming bout will be the first time that the two face off since 2017, not long before Ricochet debuted in WWE.
Fox signed with AEW in 2022 after spending more than a decade working in various independent promotions. Last year, there was a report stating that Fox had "heat" with AEW officials after it was realized he was unable to work the first AEW All In, which took place in London, England. Since then, Fox has continued making occasional appearances on both AEW and ROH programming.
As for Ricochet, the former WWE United States Champion debuted in AEW at All In 2024, making a surprise appearance in the Casino Gauntlet match. Since signing with the promotion, Ricochet has picked up several wins on TV; however, he also wrestled a draw against Will Ospreay and came up short in the three-way for the AEW International Championship last weekend at AEW WrestleDream.
