USA Today featured a piece on former WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin focusing on her music career moving forward at this link.
On exiting WWE, Irvin commented, "It just became more and more sad as time went on, because it's like, ‘Wow, am I just not a singer anymore? Like, what am I doing?’” she said. “I know that I am a performer and being a ring announcer on WWE, it was the performance of a lifetime. But then when people stopped calling me for singing gigs, and now they're asking me to announce everything, I said, ‘Oh no, I took it too far.' “I was like, man, like, this cannot be forever."
Irvin commented, "I didn't leave WWE to necessarily pursue anything specific. I just knew that I'm not a ring announcer, and I knew that if I continued going any longer, that was it. It was done. I could kiss any other thing that I wanted to do goodbye. I just need to be myself. That's literally it.”
Irvin was backstage at AEW last night with boyfriend Ricochet.
PWInsider.com is told she cannot currently appear on any combat sports programming as part of her non-compete agreement in relation to her WWE exit.
