Former WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin is embracing her future outside of wrestling with new music coming next month. To celebrate her birthday, Irvin took to Instagram to share that her newest musical project will be released on Valentine's Day (February 14). Irvin's announcement also saw birthday wishes in the comments from the likes of Nia Jax, Saraya, and more.
Irvin parted ways with WWE in October 2024, and shared shortly after that she planned on pursuing her career as a musician.
