Ricochet is set to put his AEW National Championship on the line in a unique stipulation match during the Zero Hour pre show at AEW Revolution next week.

During the March 7 episode of AEW Collision, it was confirmed that Ricochet will defend the title in a 21 man Blackjack Battle Royal as part of the Revolution Zero Hour broadcast. At the time of the announcement, the other competitors set to enter the match had not yet been revealed.

The Zero Hour pre show will air one hour before the pay per view begins and will be available to watch on HBO Max, YouTube, and AEW’s social media platforms starting at 7 pm Eastern.

Since claiming the title, the 37 year old has remained active across several promotions, successfully defending the championship seven times across AEW, CMLL, NJPW, and RevPro events.
