Swerve Strickland has been hanging out with the wife of another AEW wrestler, but there’s nothing scandalous about it.

The rivalry between Swerve Strickland and Ricochet was very intense, leading off to their blowoff match at the Revolution PPV, which Swerve won.

It was a feud that changed Ricochet’s role in AEW. He went from being a babyface to one of the most hated heels on the roster. Part of that was because Swerve became beloved by AEW fans due to his willingness to do anything to win a match.

That history between Swerve and Ricochet came to mind when Swerve posted a video from a music studio showing him hanging out with former WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin, who left the wrestling business to concentrate on her music career.

What really got fans talking is that Samantha is married to Ricochet. It’s likely that Swerve and Ricochet get along outside the ring when they aren’t wrestling for AEW, but it’s still interesting to see Swerve working with the wife of his main rival, Ricochet.

Swerve and Samantha have each released their own songs in the past and will likely continue to do that in the future.

Swerve Strickland Set For Anarchy In The Arena At Double Or Nothing

Jon Moxley defeated Samoa Joe to retain the AEW World Title on the Beach Break edition of AEW Dynamite. It was a controversial win for Moxley, who got an assist from NJPW’s Gabe Kidd. Thanks to Kidd sliding in a briefcase with the AEW World Title, Moxley used the briefcase to knock Joe out and win the pinfall.

After the match, there was a chaotic brawl in the ring, which led to Swerve Strickland and Powerhouse Hobbs making the save for Samoa Joe and Kenny Omega.

Swerve Strickland did a promo at the end of the show confirming that there will be an Anarchy in the Arena tag team match at AEW Double or Nothing on May 25th. Normally, those Anarchy in the Arena tag team matches are a men’s 5-on-5 match, but this year’s version could be different.

While the Anarchy in the Arena match is happening at Double or Nothing, AEW is still figuring out the details of the match, and nothing has been officially announced, including the participants. However, Swerve will likely be on the babyface side, while Jon MOxley will be on the heel side.
