Could Samantha Irvin's move to AEW be the spark Ricochet needs to reignite his career?

Samantha Irvin has been all over the internet recently, and the reason for that is there are several reports that she may be leaving WWE. Even the WWE Ring Announcer appears to be paying attention to these allegations, as she just dropped a major hint that might imply that these speculations are, in fact, right. But what precisely is this big clue, and how does it connect to the AEW? Let us find out.

It was recently reported that former WWE superstar Ricochet has signed a multi-year contract with AEW. Because of this marquee signing, suspicions about Samantha Irvin joining AEW grew significantly. Moreover, she poured fuel onto the rumors by giving us all a hint in the form of a picture on X. This post included two photos of Irvin playing basketball, displaying her abilities and athletic appearance. Her choice of caption proved the most interesting as it has close connotations to AEW. Irvin’s caption stated “double or nothing.”

This is considered enormous since Double or Nothing is a massive AEW Premium Live Event. The Florida-based promotion always lays out the red carpet for this marquee event and Samantha Irvin’s use of its name in her tweet came out of nowhere. PWInsider had reported in June that the new AEW star’s departure from WWE didn’t affect Irvin’s standing in the company.

She has made her presence known in WWE weekly programming and PLEs since Ricochet’s final appearance. However, it looks like she may opt to follow her fiancé soon enough. The WWE ring announcer has also witnessed a change in fortunes as she amassed an increased set of followers over the past few months.
