As noted before, WWE RAW brand ring announcer Samantha Irvin announced this past Monday that she has departed from WWE. Irvin’s departure is believed to have been due to Irvin and WWE officials not being able to come to terms over Irvin’s outside music projects.
Irvin recently provided an update on her WWE departure Instagram post revealing that the reason why she left WWE was due how she wanted to do more than just be a ring announcer in the company.
In response to a comment by a person on Instagram blaming Ricochet stating “I can’t prove it but I know Ricochet is behind this because he couldn’t stay in the big league,” Irvin responded stating:
“I don’t like announcing. I’m serious! Announcing was only supposed to be my way in. I wanted to manage, maybe even become general manager one day. But WWE saw no other future for me besides announcer. I love watching the action but I don’t love being an announcer.”
This responded responded back stating “With that being said I totally understand you have been a huge light for that industry and them not utilizing your full potential is disrespectful thank you for all that you’ve have done here I will always remember the energy I felt when you announce names thank u again continue shining your light around the world.”
Irvin responded back stating:
“thank you so much, I love WWE and I’m so proud and honored I got to share all the moments with fellow fans much love! also, they wanted Rico to stay in the big leagues. I don’t know why everyone pretending like he was always in great positions at WWE.”
Another person also commented blaming Ricochet stating “ur untalented husband did this huh” which Irvin responded back stating:
“My husband is a millionaire so yes, I don’t have to do a job I don’t like anymore.”
Samantha Irvin says she didn't like announcing and she's happy she doesn't have to do a job she doesn't like anymore.
