Samantha Irvin: I Didn’t Like Announcing, I Wanted to be a Manager

Former WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin says she didn’t like being a ring announcer and hoped to transition to a manager.

WWE ring announcer responded to questions about her departure on Instagram, and revealed that her plan was to use ring announcing as a stepping stone to being a manager and even an authority figure, if that opportunity had presented itself. She wanted more – from her outside entertainment projects, do her role in pro wrestling.

“I don’t like announcing,” she revealed on Instagram. “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.”

Another user asked, “ur untalented husband did this huh,” Irvin replied that Ricochet’s success allows her the flexibility to quit a job she didn’t like.

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