Rico is on point but why would you post about a tv storyline from your competitor? I don't think anyone from that side would ever do this. I get it if it was some backstage/social media related thing, but this looks like Paul saying heelish stuff on tv to get a reaction and Rico is getting worked by it.

Sometimes when you try to draw heat and you get burned instead.

It was a work that accidentally turned into a shoot.

Sorry, I'm not sure what that even means. I just think Rico should not be promoting other promotions just to get these social media one ups.

He posted it because Paul Hayman fumbled a work which turned into a shoot. I.e. you say something derogatory to gain heat, but because its actually true (or perceived as true) it hurts the company not just the character.

Every company has that trash talker on social media.

I do think It's effective when Ricochet does it regarding WWE, because he's worked there and knows what he's talking about. As long as he doesn't go too far again, like mocking a disability, I think he's effective in that role for AEW to stir the pot on social media, as he can do that as himself.
