Zach Gowen Reacts To Ricochet Assaulting Him In Front Of His Family
Zach Gowen returns to the ring for the first time in almost a year to face Ricochet this Wednesday on AEW Dynamite. Thursday night on AEW Collision, Ricochet mocked Zach Gowen in front of his family as they sat at ringside for the event. As Ricochet attacked security who tried to diffuse the situation, Gowen hit the ring but was overwhelmed by Ricochet, who stole his leg in the process. This altercation will lead to a match between the two men in Chicago at the Dynamite: Beach Break special. Advertisement Following the attack on Thursday, Zach Gowen spoke to AEW for social media with his children at his side, delivering a very inspiring and powerful message ahead of his match against Ricochet. 'You know, life always seems to put me in impossible situations to overcome. Yet I always overcome,' Zach Gowen said. 'The Gowens always overcome. It's what we do. Overcoming cancer to become the world's first one-legged professional wrestling superstar. Climbing a mountain with 11 other amputees. 'It doesn't matter you put a challenge in front of me, I'm going to overcome. This is what I teach my boys: that life is not about what happens to us. Life is about how we respond to what happens to us. And Ricochet, it's time for me to overcome one more time, because you're going to see me, Zach Gowen, in an AEW ring next Wednesday.'

Zach Gowen Reveals Who Pitched Bringing Him In For AEW Match
Zach Gowen will have his first match with All Elite Wrestling later tonight against Ricochet on the Dynamite: Beach Break special. Former WWE Superstar Zach Gowen recently sat down with Zack Heydorn of Sports Illustrated. When asked how he got connected with AEW, Gowen gave that credit to agent and producer Kevin Matthews. Advertisement 'I saw that a gentleman by the name of Kevin Matthews, who's a producer and agent for AEW. An old friend of mine and a lifelong supporter of mine as well,' Zach Gowen said. 'He's done good by me throughout the years. I saw that he was in town in Detroit, my hometown, for AEW, so I hit him up and I said, Hey, man, do you want to go to lunch? 'He just started pitching these ideas, which fired up my imagination, and it got me thinking. It got me hyped up, and so really, it's from that relationship that I have with Kevin and a lot of those guys that work backstage, and that was able to bring it to fruition.' Stepping in the ring with Ricochet When asked about his match with Ricochet later this evening, Gowen said he's looking forward to it, calling Ricochet the best wrestler in the world. Advertisement 'I'm absolutely looking forward to getting in the ring with him, because Ricochet is the best wrestler in the world,' Zach Gowen said. 'I've said that for a long, long time. I saw him put on an absolute clinic — must have been 2016 or 2015 somewhere in New York. He wrestled the Amazing Red and was one of the best matches I've ever seen live.'
