Earlier today, Samantha Irvin revealed that she was leaving WWE. Her time as the RAW ring announcer has come to an end. She also said that this was not the end of her art. She said that she was thankful to the women's locker room, the crew and cameramen, and everyone in the company who accepted her. She went on to thank Paul Heyman, Michael Cole, Triple H, and many others, saying goodbye.
Now, a report has emerged as to the reason she's leaving the company. Sportskeeda Wrestling's Dr. Chris Featherstone has confirmed that he has spoken to those inside the company. As per his sources, this departure is due to Irvin's schedule not working with her relationship with Ricochet. However, despite that, the departure has been amicable.
She was not at tonight's RAW. Lilian Garcia replaced her as the ring announcer.
The report added that a move to AEW is expected but has not been confirmed. However, it should be noted that Ricochet himself has said that Samantha Irvin is not coming to AEW.
It remains to be seen what's next for the beloved ring announcer.
