Ricochet Speaks Out On The Fans' Outrage Over Samantha Irvin Leaving WWE
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Ricochet opened up on Samantha Irvin exiting the ring announcer role from the WWE. The former WWE star believes that her fiancé has broken a wrestling tradition, which is why the fans were upset with her.
"I think in that production, people kind of have their roles, and this is what I was telling her, I feel like she broke tradition. That’s why people are kind of upset. Because, again, how long was Fink doing it? How long did Lillian do it? Justin Roberts still doing it. The fact that she only did for four years and then she found out this isn’t what I was born to do," Ricochet said.

When it was mentioned that some fans felt deceived by Irvin's choice, Ricochet answered that her fiancé, Samantha Irvin, broke the custom of having a prolonged tenure and that fans don't want a good thing to end.
“I think she broke the tradition of wrestling. Again, you have people who are in it forever. Look at Rey Mysterio and AJ Styles, because they’ve been doing it for so long, and they’re still in it, they’re still doing that. So I think especially when wrestling fans find something that makes them feel good and makes what they like watching better, they just want it forever. I watch One Piece. It’s on 1,100 episodes. I want more episodes, I don’t want it to stop. I understand. Again, I feel like she broke wrestling tradition in a way by just stepping away. But you can’t blame somebody," Ricochet added.
