Real reason behind Samantha Irvin's WWE exit

Irvin departed WWE in October 2024. She later had a chat with USA Today and opened up about her exit from the Stamford-based promotion. Here's what she said:

"Touring is hard. 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?’ 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 said.

When Samantha Irvin was asked about her future in pro wrestling, she said her career in the industry had just begun. She then boldly said she had to finish her story in the world of pro wrestling. Judging by her answer, it seems fans will get to see Irvin back in wrestling somewhere down the line. Her supporters would love to see her return to WWE or join AEW.
