A top name in the pro wrestling industry could join forces with AEW star Ricochet in just a few weeks. The former AEW National Champion has assembled one of the most vicious groups by his side. He recruited the Gates of Agony last year to form the Demand. Over the past year, the trio has caused havoc in the roster. In the past couple of months, Lee Johnson, Blake Christian and Jay Lethal have also joined him. Despite having a huge force by his side, the One and Only has been unable to secure victories in the Jacksonville-based promotion.
Samantha Irvin, his wife, is a former WWE in-ring announcer. She left the global sports entertainment juggernaut in October 2024 after her husband became All Elite. For the past few months, she has teased making an appearance at All Elite Wrestling. However, the two-year non-compete clause has been hanging over her head. Reports claim that her deal with WWE is set to expire soon. She could help Ricochet win a major title at All Out.
A few days before All In, the Demand managed to win the AEW World Trios Championships. However, they immediately lost to Hangman Page, Bandido and Brody King. The trio tried to win it back at Wembley Stadium, but failed to do so. New Level and Swerve Strickland are the current champions. The Demand has been calling them out for a title shot. Tony Khan could make the match official at All Out, which is just a few weeks away.
Samantha Irvin could make her AEW debut at All Out and help his husband win the AEW World Trios Championship.
Ricochet teased bringing Samantha Irvin on TV
While speaking with Adrian Hernandez, Ricochet said he and Samantha Irvin get reactions out of people and believes she will be a great heel on camera.
“She [Samantha Irvin] and I have chemistry together. I think whether it’s good or bad, we’ll be able to get reactions out of people. We’ve already proven we can get reactions out of people off of little to nothing. A heel Samantha on camera—she’s been an actress her whole life,” he said.
It will be interesting to see what is next for the former WWE in-ring announcer.
