Washington Washington. WWE fans were shocked when one of the most beloved personalities, Samantha Irwin, announced her departure from the Connecticut-based wrestling promotion. Given that she was a popular figure, her departure from the company shocked the WWE Universe. There was a definite buzz surrounding his departure, but now, reports have provided some clarity on why he left the role.
Not only are the fans shocked by Samantha Irwin's departure, but the backroom staff is also shocked by this decision. Given the fanfare and hype surrounding the star announcer, it looked like she was having the time of her life while in WWE. But Dave Meltzer believes he abandoned WWE ship to pursue other opportunities. He reported this while talking through Wrestling Observer Radio.
As Dave Meltzer reports, “She's actually been thinking about (leaving WWE) for a year. She wants to be a singer – she's a singer, she also plays the flute and wants to get more involved in her music. It's not about that – it was just something she's been talking about for a long time and she finally pulled the trigger on it, that's it really.”
Samantha Irwin announced on 'X' that her time calling the Monday Night Raw show is officially over. He posted a lengthy statement to announce his exit and thanked everyone for their support over time. She joined back in 2021, and Mark Henry was the one who gave Irwin her big break. She recently became one of the most loved non-wrestling celebrities. As soon as she leaves, Lilian Garcia makes her return to WWE and will now call the Monday Night Showcase.
Interestingly, Irwin's fiancée Ricochet left WWE earlier this year and has jumped ship to join All Elite Wrestling (AEW). While there was a lot of talk that Samantha was going to join AEW with her fiancé, Meltzer said that although nothing is confirmed, Samantha has no plans to join AEW at the moment and decided to leave Is.
