Samantha Irvin reveals that she didn’t like ring announcing in regards to why she left WWE

Prior to the October 21st 2024 edition of WWE RAW, ring announcer Samantha Irvin wrote that she was leaving WWE. Lilian Garcia returned to WWE as Samantha’s replacement on the RAW broadcast.

In regards to why Samantha left, a fan on Instagram referenced her fiance Ricochet leaving WWE for AEW by writing, “I can’t prove it but I know Ricochet is behind this because he couldn’t stay in the big league.” Samantha replied with “I don’t like announcing” along with additional messages…

“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.”

“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 100. My husband is a millionaire so yes, I don’t have to do a job I don’t like anymore.”
