Ricochet talks about his and Samantha Irvin's WWE exits

Ricochet and Irvin both worked for WWE not too long ago. However, things changed when he left the promotion, and Samantha left months later.

In a chat with Chris Van Vliet, Ricochet said the following about the duo's WWE exits:

"I have so much respect for this. I put my heart, my soul into this. I gave it literally everything that I have to make WWE better because of the love that I have for it. But at the end of the day, it’s just not what I was born to do, and just like me, I told her, ‘If you feel even half the way that I feel, I feel like this isn’t what I wanna do. I feel like I could be doing more as well,’ and that’s kind of why I left and she just feels like she could be doing more and honestly, maybe at the time, maybe she doesn’t want to do anything.” [H/T CSS]

Ricochet has done incredibly well in Tony Khan's All Elite Wrestling so far following his WWE exit. As for Irvin, many fans still believe she will join Ricochet in AEW somewhere down the line.
