Samantha Irvin, ring announcer for “WWE SmackDown,” recently announced her and former Intercontinental Champion Ricochet’s engagement. However, as she tweeted, this is not the only major event in her life in the last few months “6 years ago I ended my toxic relationship with alcohol. Sharing this just in case someone needs to hear it’s possible” Following her announcement, many people responded, expressing their support for her and congratulating Irvin on his significant achievement.

Irvin before WWE

Irvin has won appreciation for the time and effort she takes to introduce specific “SmackDown” roster players. Among them are her emphasis on the letter “R” in Roman Reigns and her proficiency in pronouncing the names of all three Imperium members, including GUNTHER. She previously worked for the now-defunct “205 Live” brand and has been the in-ring announcer for the company since early 2022. She competed as an R&B singer on season 10 of “America’s Got Talent” before being hired by WWE.

The Kissing incident 

Irvin was given the opportunity to be in the spotlight on “SmackDown” on December 23, 2022, despite her position as an in-ring announcer. As Ricochet was worn out during the match with Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci of the Imperium, Braun Strowman walked him over to Irvin, held the mistletoe over both of them, and the couple kissed. Ricochet was her real-life fiancé.

Since when are Ricochet and Samantha Irvin dating?

In 2020, there were rumors that Samantha Irvin and Ricochet were dating. In the latter half of 2021, they made their partnership a formality. The former Intercontinental Champion has always been open about his romances, and on November 13 he was photographed with his significant other. Irvin was thrilled to be with her partner after making it to the blue brand. Eventually, the business approached the pair and broke the kayfabe. After a while, as the firm concentrated on its storylines, there were less non-PG moments to increase public interest in their relationship.

The Ricochet of WWE’s SmackDown just got engaged to Samantha Irvin. He stated that he has finally found the “one” he had been hunting for all this time in an Instagram post. After being strong together for a while, the pair has elevated their connection. Since April 2021, Samantha has been a part of the WWE. Before moving into other positions, she began working as a ring announcer for NXT and 205 Live. Being a backstage interviewer may have been the Massachusetts-born star’s most noteworthy experience. In January of last year, she was part of the SmackDown roster.

Ricochet previously 

The real name of Ricochet is Trevor Dean Mann, and he formerly dated Tessa Blanchard of Impact Wrestling and NXT Superstar Kacy Catanzaro. From a previous union, he has a son. Samantha Irvin has a kid named Myra who will turn 6 this year, but little is known about her previous relationships.
