It's been a year since we found ourselves at the Grand Canyon! It's really been the best year I could have asked for. You've helped me grow more than anyone, you've been there for me more than anyone, and you've loved me better than anyone. I got lucky to have someone like you as my life partner!

Why Ricochet left WWE for AEW
Ricochet did not renew his contract with WWE when it expired in June 2024, opting to move to Tony Khan's promotion, All Elite Wrestling, which has nurtured stars like Jade Cargill. During his November 2024 appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, he shared what contributed to the move, saying:
I felt like I was able to be on the next level of performers (at WWE), I guess. But I still feel like I was starting over again—it's like, man I've already been here for five or six years, I want to be doing something else... At the time, I felt AEW could be the gasoline for my fire. Since being there, I feel like I made the right choice.
Trevor joined WWE in 2018 as part of the NXT roster, where he was crowned NXT North American Champion. He quickly became one of the best wrestlers and moved up the roster to compete on the promotion's major brands like Raw and SmackDown. Ricochet was the WWE US Champion in 2019, the WWE Intercontinental Champion in 2021, and the inaugural WWE Speed Champion in 2024.

Samantha Irvin left WWE to focus on her creative side
Irvin quit WWE in October 2024, three months after her husband left the promotion. In her February 2025 interview with USA Today, she shared that she wanted to do more than be a ring announcer.
I know I am a performer, and being a ring announcer on WWE was the performance of a lifetime. But when people stopped calling me for singing gigs, and started asking me to announce everything, I said, 'Oh no, I took it too far'...I knew that if I continued going any longer, that was it. It was done. I could kiss any other thing that I wanted to do goodbye.
The former America's Got Talent contestant is now focused on her music career, but told USA Today that she is not done with wrestling and will return in future. In February 2025, she released the song Make Me.
