Monday Night Raw last night was very exciting, especially since The Bloodline got involved and took it up to the next level. But what truly shocked fans was Samantha Irvin’s absence from the announcer’s chair, replaced by Lilian Garcia.
When Samantha officially confirmed her departure from WWE, fans were left wondering why. Now, the surprising reason behind her exit has been revealed, and it’s something no one expected.
Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that Irvin has been planning to leave for a while because she wants to focus on her music career.
Meltzer noted, “She left on her own. It was something she had been considering, she didn’t grow up a wrestling person, she grew up a musical person and that was her passion. So she’s trying to follow her passion.”
Before that, her sudden resignation announcement left fans in shock, which led to rumors that she might have joined AEW or left on her own. However, her fiancé, Ricochet, confirmed Samantha Irvin’s not heading to AEW.
Ricochet shuts down rumors of Samantha Irvin joining AEW
Following Samantha Irvin’s announcement of her departure from WWE, rumors quickly spread that she might join her fiancé Ricochet in All Elite Wrestling. However, Ricochet has shut down these rumors, clarifying that Irvin will not be joining AEW.
In a tweet, Ricochet humorously addressed the speculation, writing, “Haha, she’s not coming to AEW. You can all rest easy.” This response put an end to the widespread assumption that Irvin would follow Ricochet to AEW after her WWE exit.
