Former ring announcer responds directly to fan criticism
Summary
– Samantha Irvin says she is not returning to WWE
– Exit followed frustration with her role in the company
– Future in wrestling remains open after non-compete ends
Samantha Irvin has made it clear that a return to WWE is not happening.
Irvin worked as a ring announcer for WWE from April 2021 through October 2024 before deciding to step away from the company.
She previously explained that her departure was tied to dissatisfaction with how her role had developed during her time there.
The topic resurfaced after a fan criticized her decision to leave, prompting Irvin to respond directly on social media, stating that she is not returning to WWE.
Irvin has also noted in the past that she is not finished with professional wrestling, keeping the door open to future opportunities elsewhere.
Her WWE non-compete clause is scheduled to expire in October, which could allow her to explore new options.
Ricochet addressed the situation during an interview with Ariel Helwani, commenting on the possibility of Irvin appearing in AEW at some point.
