- Here's a look at Ricochet's dating life before his engagement to Irvin.
WWE Superstar Ricochet’s love life has caught the fans’ attention ever since he announced his engagement with WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin in January 2023. Ricochet started dating his girlfriend in 2021, and after almost two years of dating, the high-flying superstar went to his knees to ask her the most important question.
Samantha Irvin obviously said “Yes,” and since then they have been one of the most talked-about couples in the WWE universe. With the passage of time, the WWE universe seems to be getting more and more interested in their relationship, as people have been asking if Samantha Irvin is the only Girlfriend of Ricochet in WWE. But has he dated anyone before Samantha?
Alongside his athletic abilities and hard-flying wrestling techniques in WWE, “The One and Only” Ricochet has often been in the news due to his relationships. The former Intercontinental Champion is currently in a relationship with WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin, but before this, he was involved in a relationship with WWE star Katana Chance.
Ricochet and Katana Chance (previously Kacy Catanzaro) started dating in 2018, as they instantly fell in love with each other after meeting. The love life between Ricochet and Katana was even recognized on WWE TV, as the company used to share videos of Katana giving surprises to his boyfriend, Ricochet. However, after years of dating, they ended their relationship in 2021.
Who is Ricochet’s ex-girlfriend, Katana Chance? When did they break up?
Katana Chance, whose real name is Kacy Esther Catanzaro, is an American professional wrestler who was born on January 14, 1990. The 33-year-old star is a former NXT Women’s tag team champion and currently performs on WWE’s Red brand, Monday Night RAW.
Chance initially got recognition through her performances on the TV show American Ninja Warrior. Katana was officially signed by WWE in January 2018, and she made her in-ring debut in NXT in April. As Katana joined the WWE, she and Ricochet started bonding pretty well and began dating.
During an interview with the Chasing Glory podcast, Ricochet once revealed about how they first met. He said, “We actually came in the exact same class and started the same day. She was always so nice and kind, and helpful to everybody in any way that she could be, and that was something that I had always admired about her“.
Their relationship was going pretty well, as they dated each other for several years until the couple stopped posting pictures together. This led to speculations about whether the WWE couple had broken up.
All those speculations got confirmed when Ricochet posted a picture with his new girlfriend, Samantha, in November 2021. Not just Ricochet, but Katana Chance is also now in a new relationship with CF-L1 Trainer Naoufal Abouelhouda. It seems that both of them have moved on from their relationship and are now living their best lives with their partners.
