Samantha Irvin promises she’s not done with the world of professional wrestling.
Former WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin recently sat down with Jordan Mendoza of USA Today. When asked about her decision to depart the company last year, Irvin said it came down to feeling like her music career was slipping through her fingers due to her commitment to ring announcing.
“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?’” Samantha Irvin 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. 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.”
Samantha Irvin guarantees she will return to pro wrestling in the future
Despite leaving the industry for now, when asked if she’ll eventually return to professional wrestling at some point, Irvin guaranteed that she would.
“That’s a guarantee. My wrestling career has barely even begun,” Samantha Irvin said. “I think it would be an absolute waste of everything that I’ve done so far to not continue the story. I gotta finish my story. Now, I want to just see creatively what else I can do. Hopefully, when I come back (to wrestling), I’ll bring even more value than I did before.”
