Even with a big title match coming up in less than two weeks time, Ricochet skipped this week’s AEW Dynamite for a better reason: his wedding.
Appearing via video Wednesday, one of the two top challengers to reigning AEW International Champion Kenny Omega said he wasn’t on the show due to his wedding to former WWE ring announcer and current free agent Samantha Irvin.
The wedding was indeed Wednesday night with some videos making their way to social media Thursday:
Of the pictures that made their way out, WWE’s Karrion Kross and Scarlett were in attendance:
The video on Dynamite (seen below) aired following Omega’s show-opening win over Blake Christian and also while “Speedball” Mike Bailey was in the ring afterward. Ricochet and Bailey will challenge Omega in a three-way title match at AEW Dynasty on Sunday, April 6th.
Ricochet said he was preparing for the best day of his life: that was until April 6th when he shows everyone that he is out of this world.
He and Irvin got engaged in January 2023 when they were both in WWE. Five months ago, he said Irvin wasn’t going to AEW while Irvin said two months ago that she would definitely be back in wrestling at some point.
