In the latest chapter of their intensifying rivalry, AEW star Swerve Strickland couldn’t resist taking a shot at Ricochet’s recent wedding celebration, adding another layer to their already heated feud. The social media exchange came shortly after Ricochet announced his marriage to former WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin on Wednesday’s episode of “AEW Dynamite.”
## Wedding Announcement and Strickland’s Response
Ricochet shared his joyous news with the AEW audience just days before his scheduled AEW International Championship triple threat match at Dynasty. However, Strickland quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to stir the pot, commenting on a video of the newlyweds’ fireworks-filled celebration:
> “If i didn’t have moxley to deal with last night, I totally would’ve crashed this”
## The Bitter History Between Ricochet and Strickland
Their rivalry has been brewing since late 2024, marked by several notable incidents:
– Ricochet’s infamous “golden scissors” attack on Strickland during a ladder match
– A heated singles match where Ricochet emerged victorious and seized Prince Nana’s signature robe
– Strickland’s redemption at Revolution, where he secured both the No. 1 contendership and the return of Nana’s robe
## What’s Next for Both Competitors
While Strickland focuses on his upcoming AEW World Championship opportunity, Ricochet prepares for his high-stakes triple threat match at Dynasty against Kenny Omega and “Speedball” Mike Bailey for the International Championship. The timing of these career-defining moments adds another fascinating dimension to their ongoing feud.
Will their paths cross again after Dynasty, or will their respective championship pursuits take them in different directions? With both men operating at the peak of their careers, the AEW faithful eagerly await the next chapter in this compelling rivalry.
