Ricochet, carried out on a stretcher in an ambulance after the brutal attack by Bron Breakker, had his fiancée, Samantha Irvin, witness the horrific scene. She rushed backstage to be with him following the attack. Later, Irvin posted a picture of her and Ricochet on her Instagram account.

Samantha Irvin leaves WWE RAW post Ricochet’s attack
WWE RAW witnessed Samantha Irvin rushing backstage following Ricochet’s attack. Irvin’s emotional reaction was shown on the show as she hurried backstage following the assault. She was also spotted in the ambulance with tears in her eyes as her fiancé was carried out on a stretcher. This led to Irvin leaving the show with her fiancé, leaving no ring announcer for the main event match, which featured Drew McIntyre and Finn Balor.
However, while Samantha Irvin was absent from the show, WWE commentator Pat McAfee stepped in and took over the announcements.

McAfee referred to McIntyre as “a big handsome bastard from Scotland” and announced Balor as having “zero percent body fat on a 225-pound frame.”
