AEW has a new National Champion, and its none other than Ricochet. Ricochet won a Casino Gauntlet match at today’s AEW Full Gear 2025 event. With the win, he now becomes the inaugural AEW National Champion.

The match also included Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjmain, Kevin Knight, and Speedball Mike Bailey. Ricochet scored the Spirit Gun on Kevin Knight to score the pinfall win and the title at AEW Full Gear.

The win marks the first AEW title of Ricochet’s in-ring career. It’s also the first time he’s held major singles title gold since he was WWE Speed Champion in over a year-and-a-half, initially becoming inaugural WWE Speed Champion in April 2024, losing the title six weeks later to Andrade.

Ricochet would later end up leaving WWE in June 2024, later debuting in AEW several months later at AEW All In 2024 in, coincidentally, in the Casino Gauntlet Match.

As the first National Champion, Ricochet now has the opportunity to set the tone for AEW’s latest singles title. However, in a crowded AEW Title scene, including the AEW Unified Title, TNT Title, Continental Title, and International Title, Ricochet will have to do a lot to stand out.
