Speculation ran rampant that the masked wrestler debuting on AEW Collision Hologram was former WWE high-flyer Ricochet. Ricochet recently parted ways with the WWE. Amidst this buzz, the masked luchador, known as Hologram, made a highly anticipated entrance on AEW Collision past Saturday.
In his debut match, Hologram, the masked luchador, squared off against Gringo Loco and quickly secured a victory. After the match, Fightful Select reported that Hologram garnered considerable praise within AEW. Gringo Loco also received acclaim for his role as Hologram’s base during the bout.
While Hologram’s impressive AEW debut garnered widespread backstage praise, fans were quick to speculate that the masked man was in fact former WWE star Ricochet, given rumors of his potential AEW signing. However, the identity of Hologram has been revealed as former AAA star Aramis. Tony Khan personally crafted the new character for him.
Former WWE superstar Ricochet has recently responded to fan speculation linking him to the masked AEW star, Hologram.
Ricochet denies being AEW new wrestler Hologram
Former WWE star Ricochet has addressed the rumors on X (formerly Twitter) regarding his involvement with the Hologram character. He pointed out that unless he underwent significant tattoo removal and lost a few inches of height, he isn’t the person behind the mask. He also praised both performers for their match.
With Ricochet’s anticipated arrival in All Elite Wrestling, speculation is rife about a potential dream match against his long-time rival, Will Ospreay. Ospreay recently lost his AEW International Championship to MJF in a historic 60-minute Iron Man match on AEW Dynamite, a bout that garnered a 5.75-star rating from renowned wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer.
With AEW All In rapidly approaching and Will Ospreay recently losing his AEW International Championship to MJF, anticipation is high for the next chapter in this compelling storyline. Whether Ospreay secures a rematch against MJF or faces a potential dream match against the rumored incoming Ricochet at All In remains to be seen.
