Former WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin, who announced her departure from the company last Monday prior to RAW, took to her Instagram and issued a statement regarding her exit.
Irvin said, “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 comes after a fan wrote, “I can’t prove it but I know Ricochet is behind this because he couldn’t stay in the big league.”
The fan then wrote, “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 then responded, “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.”
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.
She also wanted to do more in WWE, but WWE saw no other future for her besides being an announcer. pic.twitter.com/dmwODBqqAa
