Samantha Irvin reacts after fan says Ricochet can't "carry" her
A fan recently took a shot at AEW star Ricochet. However, his fiancee Samantha Irvin came to the 36-year-old's defense.
Ricochet finally arrived at AEW at All In 2024 and has been determined to prove himself. He got some wins and then went after Will Ospreay and the International Championship. While he didn't win the title, he is still in pursuit of it and has been feuding with Konosuke Takeshita in recent weeks. During an interview with Justin Barrasso, he stated that he wanted to prove he could carry the company. He also commented that AEW was the place where he could show the world who he was.
A fan took this opportunity to poke some fun at the former Intercontinental Champion on X (fka Twitter) by saying that he couldn't even "carry" his fiancee, Samantha Irvin. The former ring announcer caught wind of this tweet and responded with a picture of The One and Only lifting the near 300 pound Ivar with a caption as follows:
"I’m offended," she wrote.

Tony Khan was blown away by Ricochet's recent match
Ricochet has been collecting wins since arriving in AEW. He has already defeated Kyle Fletcher, Lio Rush, Nick Wayne, AR Fox, and Sammy Guevara.
On the November 13 episode of AEW Rampage, the former WWE star faced off against Dante Martin in an exhilarating contest. In the end, the high flyer defeated Martin with the Spirit Gun. Following the match, Tony Khan took to X to praise the former Intercontinental Champion's match against the 23-year-old.
"Thank you all who watched Friday Night #AEWRampage tonight! If you missed it earlier, it’s on West right NOW! You won’t want to miss the great main event tonight, it was nuts! Dante Martin vs Ricochet vs Coming up SOON tonight on TNT West!" Khan wrote.

It will be interesting to see how long it will take the former WWE star to win his first title in All Elite Wrestling after his seemingly blistering start at the Jacksonville-based promotion.
