Ricochet comments on Samantha Irvin’s potential move to AEW after WWE departure

AEW star Ricochet recently clarified if Samantha Irvin would join All Elite Wrestling after exiting WWE. The duo have been engaged since 2023.

They have been part of the global sports entertainment juggernaut for many years. The One and Only was part of the locker room from 2018 to 2024, while Samantha joined as a ring announcer for WWE 205 Live in 2021. Following his release from the Stamford-based promotion, the 36-year-old signed with AEW and has been delivering top-notch matches. He is currently going after Konosuke Takeshita's International Championship.

A few hours ago, Samantha Irvin announced her departure from WWE. She worked in the promotion for more than three years as a ring announcer for NXT, SmackDown, and RAW. Although Irvin said goodbye to the WWE Universe, she disclosed that she will be working in the same field. Many fans are speculating about whether the star is headed to AEW along with Ricochet.

The former Intercontinental Champion took to X/Twitter and responded to a fan's speculation. He confirmed that Samantha will not be signing with AEW.

"Haha, she's not coming to AEW. You can all rest easy," he wrote.
