Samantha Irvin has parted ways with WWE after three years, during which she was praised by many, including Michael Buffer, for her work as a ring announcer. Currently, Lilian Garcia is announcing on Monday Night Raw, and whatever the future holds, Kayla Becker has no plans to return to the role.
Becker, known to wrestling fans as Kayla Braxton, was a ring announcer for WWE NXT in late 2016 but transitioned into being an interviewer the next year. Speaking to Triggered Wrestling, Becker made clear she\'d turn down the offer to replace Irvin if asked.
\"Do you know how much I hate ring announcing? Absolutely not. You know how that job is? Ring announcing is the most underrated job ever in the history of wrestling. It\'s so difficult. It\'s very stressful, and it makes your voice hoarse. So, no. I am not interested.\
Becker also parted ways with WWE in June with an emotional send-off in Madison Square Garden led by Cody Rhodes. Since then, Becker has since made moves outside the world of pro wrestling. The 33-year-old is set to be a part of Stranglehold, a new comedic thriller about a group of friends that heist a strip club which will also feature AEW\'s MJF.
Irvin similarly is looking to make her name outside of wrestling and is focusing on a wider career in entertainment. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on both Irvin and Becker both in and out of the world of professional wrestling.
