Samantha Irvin posted a video and confirmed the images she posted on Instagram. The WWE announcer had posted images with Ricochet in which he was seen totally fit. She uploaded the images on Instagram a couple of days after the Prince Puma was taken out by Bron Breakker. As Ricochet wanted to leave WWE, he was erased from the story of WWE TV.
After the segment, Ricochet was taken away from the stretchers. Samantha, who was at the ringside as the announcer, was shocked to see her boyfriend being taken out by the former NXT star. She soon rushed to see how Ricochet was. Irvin wept for life as Ricochet was taken out of the arena through an ambulance. She ended up not announcing the main event of the night.
