Ricochet and Samantha Irvin have been one of the most loved couples in WWE’s recent history, and their frequent presence in social media discussions proves it. But, in one of the most shocking revelations in the duo’s tenure with the promotion, it has been revealed that The One and Only is no longer interested in working in the Stamford-based promotion.
According to the latest reports, Ricochet has notified WWE that he will not renew his contract once it expires this summer. This report has taken the entire industry by storm. As the 35-year-old star is currently involved in a high-profile storyline with Bron Breakker and Ilja Dragunov, this decision has come as a surprise for many fans.
But the other half of the audience believes that it is a result of WWE’s booking decisions for the high-flying athlete. However, the latest developments around Ricochet’s in-ring future have also left the WWE Universe in fear of losing Samantha Irvin. The reason being that there’s a high chance that she might join her real-life partner and leave the Triple H-led promotion.
As the Monday Night RAW announcer is one of the best talents in her craft, this would surely be a major loss for the organization. But, as of now, no official statement has been made from Irvin’s side about leaving the Stamford-based promotion. Despite this, the audience is pretty concerned about her association with WWE, and it remains to be seen if she continues to be with the promotion or ends up leaving it alongside Ricochet.
Fans express their concern over the future of Samantha Irvin
As soon as the news of Ricochet’s decision to not renew his WWE contract came to the limelight, fans also started expressing their concern over the future of Samantha Irvin. Wondering if this also means the end of Samantha’s tenure with the company, an audience member wrote, “DOES THIS MEAN WE ABOUT TO LOSE SAMANTHA IRVIN TOO?.” (Via: X)
Pointing out how Irvin leaving WWE would be a major setback, someone said, “Samantha would be a bigger loss than ricochet at this point.” “If Samantha Irvin leaves, THAT would be the biggest fumble for the WWE,” another member of the pro wrestling community commented while hoping that history won’t repeat itself with this duo’s potential departure from the Stamford-based promotion.
WWE has previously witnessed couples leaving the company together
It’s evident from the fans’ reactions that the audience is worried about Samantha’s future with the Stamford-based promotion after the latest developments around Ricochet. And, a big reason behind this is that WWE has previously witnessed couples leaving the company together.
In the past, the couple of Dean Ambrose, now known as Jon Moxley in AEW, and Renee Paquette, formerly known as Renee Young, were both in WWE. But later, this duo left the promotion, and the pro wrestling community is wondering if that’s also going to be the case with The One and Only and Irvin. There’s obviously uncertainty around the situation, but there are examples of couples working for different promotions.
One prime duo in this category is that of Rhea Ripley and Buddy Matthews. If this thing is considered, it’s safe to say that there’s a chance that Irvin will continue to be in WWE while her partner departs the company after his contract expires in the summer. Amid all the discussions going around at the moment about this thing, it remains to be seen what the future holds for the professional future of these stars.
