Samantha Irvin has yet to resurface in wrestling since exiting WWE in late 2024, but the former ring announcer was referenced on the latest AEW Dynamite. In the show’s opening segment, Ricochet and Swerve Strickland signed the contract for their match at Revolution. During the intense segment, Swere Strickland said that Ricochet will only be remembered for two things: Swere “briefly” reviving his career, and “your ring announcer wife.”
Ricochet didn’t like that one bit, and when Strickland’s back was turned, attempted to stab Swerve with his scissors. Swerve stopped Ricochet and then he stabbed him in the face with a pair of his own scissors.
The reference to Irvin, albeit not by name, has further fueled expectations among fans that she will join AEW in due time. Though Irvin left WWE to focus on projects outside of wrestling, including her music career, fans shouldn’t count out Irvin becoming All Elite, perhaps as the manager of her fiancee.
In the meantime, Ricochet Vs. Swerve Strickland at AEW Revolution will determine the next challenger for the AEW World Championship. Strickland is hungry to regain the gold he lost at All In: London 2024 while Ricochet is determined to prove his status among the very top in AEW. With that in mind, fans can expect a war at Revolution between two of AEW’s most captivating talents.
