AEW star Ricochet, who is engaged to WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin, got candid about how Irvin reacted when he left WWE. Previously, on the June 10 episode of Raw, Ricochet rushed to help Ilja Dragunov, who was under attack from Bron Breakker. Following an attack by Breakker on RAW backstage, WWE wrote Ricochet off the storyline. Breakker delivered a devastating power slam that sent Ricochet through the windshield of a car.

Those rumors became reality last month when Ricochet made his highly anticipated debut at AEW All In, competing in the Casino Gauntlet Match. After the match, AEW President Tony Khan confirmed that he had officially signed with the company. Recently, Ricochet shared how Samantha Irvin, his fiancée, reacted to his decision to leave WWE for AEW.
