"Ask Ricochet" - Two female WWE stars admit to having a 'woman crush' on each other

WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin and backstage interviewer Cathy Kelley recently revealed that they have a 'woman crush' on each other.

Irvin joined the Stamford-based company in April 2021. After working for a while as a ring announcer in NXT, the 27-year-old moved to SmackDown. Meanwhile, Kelley had a four-year run as a host and backstage interviewer in WWE before leaving the company in 2020. Earlier this year, the 34-year-old returned to work as a backstage interviewer on Monday Night RAW.

Recently, a fan tweeted about his attraction to both ladies. Kelley responded to his tweet, stating that she also has a crush on Irvin.

"To be fair @SamanthaTheBomb is my woman crush too," she wrote.
