GOA On Their Alliance With Ricochet: ‘We’re Tired Of Being Background Dancers’

GOA recently weighed in on their partnership with Ricochet, saying they’re taking the opportunity to step into the limelight. Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona have joined forced with Ricochet in recent weeks, and they spoke about the alliance in an interview with Jeremy Lambert, Sean Ross Sapp, and SP3 on Fightful’s In the Weeds podcast. You can see highlights below:

Liona on the new alliance: “For me and him, we’re tired of being background dancers. Yeah, we’re ‘muscle,’ but we’re way more than that. Ricochet saw that. Even from our first beginnings and having conversations when the group started forming about what we wanted to get out of it. ‘Whatever you need, we’re here for you.’ In our vision in this group, we see three singles stars coming out of this. We’re willing to do whatever it takes. In the meantime, Ricochet, whatever you need, we’re here to make things work.

“For him to believe in us and step up for us in the sense of talking and helping us get in certain situations where in the past, we didn’t. Nothing to Swerve and Nana, but at that time, it wasn’t our time. Everything happens for a reason. I love Swerve and Nana, we told great stories and everything was phenomenal. We got to showcase what we could do, which led to this opportunity. I’m not going to be resentful of what could have happened. I’m excited and grateful for what is happening. Both were great experiences, but onto new and better things.”

Kaun on how this team is different than the one with Strickland: “Honestly, respectfully to Swerve, I feel like we had to try and appease him. With Ricochet, he has to appease us.”
