Social Media star Logan Paul has made a smooth transition to the WWE and is now considered among the best-ever celebrity performers. His high-influence personality is the reason he has only been involved in high-profile rivalries, and his feud with Ricochet was the latest addition to this list.
While their recent match at SummerSlam 2023 was eventually won by Logan, the build-up to the encounter saw heavy involvement from Ricochet’s girlfriend Samantha Irvin. The ring announcer was a major focus point in the storyline, and the YouTube star didn’t even shy away from disrespecting her on camera.
In a video posted by WWE’s X handle, Paul is seen in a backstage conversation. In the video, the superstar reminds Irvin that she might have made the wrong choice by dating his current boyfriend. This happened after The Maverick was asked, “How good will it feel to make her announce you as the winner?“
Answering the question, the superstar said, “Look, I have not. I have nothing on Samantha. Obviously. She’s she’s awesome and she’s so good at her job. I think she’s like, I think she’s fantastic, but unfortunately you’re engaged to Ricochet“.

Logan’s comments didn’t resonate that well with what he was asked to explain, as he didn’t tell how would he feel to make Irvin announce him as the winner. But everyone got to see the emotional side of Ricochet’s girlfriend when she eventually announced Paul as the winner at WWE’s Biggest Party of the Summer.
Making the entire situation even worse for Irvin, the sensational social media personality told her to again announce him as the winner, which shows how good of a heel Logan Paul currently is.
Is WWE planning a romance angle between Logan Paul and Ricochet’s girlfriend?
While Logan and Ricochet‘s SummerSlam match seemingly concluded their feud, many believe that Triple H’s company can have them cross paths again. The next chapter in their rivalry could be a very personal one, as the promotion could include a romance angle between Paul and Samantha.
The seeds for such a storyline were sown during the build-up to their previous encounter, as many believed that Irvin’s involvement was only to add her to a love triangle. As Ricochet’s girlfriend and The Maverick were seen wearing the same colored dress at SummerSlam, a lot of people speculated that she could betray her boyfriend to cost him the win, but nothing like that really happened.
With the emotional side, Irvin showed after her partner’s loss, it was seemingly confirmed that she’s loyal to The One and Only. Even though there were no signs of a rift between the couple during the previous chapter of this rivalry, WWE refreshing this feud can do the needful.
If the Stamford-based promotion believes this storyline to be a major selling point, they can give Logan and Samantha an interesting romance angle to perform. If they do, it’ll be interesting to see how they handle the entire storyline. It remains to be seen whether anything like this will happen in the near future or not.
