Samantha Irvin On Future of Her Wrestling Career Being “It’s a ‘guarantee’ that I’ll be Back in Wrestling at Some Point”

As noted before, WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin departed from the company this past October over issues related to the two sides not being able to come to terms for outside music projects and Irvin wanting to do more than just be a ring announcer in the company.

USA Today held a recent interview with Irvin. One of the topics discussed included Irvin’s thoughts about her decision to leave WWE.

“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 also gave her thoughts about how she has no hard feelings towards WWE and didn’t leave to pursue anything specific for her.

“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 also gave her thoughts about her plans to return to wrestling in the future.

“That’s a guarantee. My wrestling career has barely even begun. 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.”
