Samantha Irvin Reflects on WWE Career, Role Aspirations

Samantha Irvin, a former WWE ring announcer, expressed her desire to explore various roles within the organization beyond announcing, including a pitch to become a referee. In a recent interview on 'Busted Open Radio,' she revealed that while she appreciated the creative freedom WWE allowed her, she never intended to be a lifelong ring announcer and always had ambitions to work in other capacities, such as writing or creative roles. Irvin noted that Michael Hayes was the only person who inquired about her aspirations, highlighting her eagerness to learn and grow within the industry. Despite her popularity in the announcer role, she felt it limited her opportunities to pursue her true passions. Following her departure from WWE in October 2024, she clarified her earlier comments about ring announcing, stating that it was a stepping stone rather than her ultimate goal. Irvin is now focusing on her music career, with new music set to release soon.
