This Monday afternoon, Samantha Irvin dropped a bombshell out of nowhere. In a post she made via X, the 35-year-old confirmed that her time as WWE Raw’s ring announcer has come to an end. That doesn’t mean she’s moving over to SmackDown. In fact, she has departed the company. The news will take a while to sink in. Samantha thanked every single entity she’s worked with in WWE.

She lauded the women’s roster, including all the WWE Superstars she’s been following since 1989 when she was a child. Irvin didn’t miss out on acknowledging the industrious WWE crew members for fostering a jovial backstage atmosphere for her. The virtuoso named Paul Heyman, Michael Cole, and Michael Hayes as the ones who reinvigorated her creativity.

Although many WWE names have reacted to Samantha’s exit, one that hits the most is Chelsea Green‘s response. She said she’d miss seeing Irvin’s smiling face at work. Moreover, Green lamented the fact that there would be no more of Irvin’s iconic ring announcements for her.

In another post, Chelsea stated that all she wanted was to have the departing figure call her out to the ring at WrestleMania. Samantha Irvin had been with WWE since 2021, ending her three-year tenure with the promotion.

Several claims were made that she’s irreplaceable and will be missed moving forward. Some on X wondered if Ricochet could be the reason why she’s gone. The current AEW wrestler has been engaged to Irvin since last year.

It’s quite possible that she’d likely receive a huge offer from Tony Khan‘s company to resume on-air announcing duties there. Fans wished Samantha the best of luck in her future endeavors. There’s some speculation that she might solely focus on breaking new ground in the music industry.
