The popular voice of Monday Night Raw, Samantha Irvin, has declared her intention to leave the WWE. Irvin teased that her creative journey is far from done in an emotional social media post, thanking fans, superstars, and coworkers who helped make her time in WWE unforgettable. 

After leaving the WWE, former Raw ring announcer Samantha Irvin made the shocking admission that she had never been passionate about announcing. Irvin said that her stint behind the microphone was merely intended to serve as a springboard to other positions inside the organization. Irvin joined WWE in 2021 and immediately won over fans with her passionate and captivating manner.

When Irvin replied to an Instagram poster who suggested that her departure was related to her fiance, Ricochet, leaving WWE over the summer to sign with AEW, it was a bombshell. "I don't like announcing," Irvin admitted in her reply. "I'm serious! Announcing was only supposed to be my way in. I wanted to manage, maybe even become a general manager one day. But WWE saw no future for me besides announcer," she said per Ring Side News.

Her candid reaction reveals her personal grievances and goals that went beyond her announcing responsibilities. Irvin became a beloved character on WWE Raw, but she made it plain that her true ambitions were elsewhere. She hoped to manage or assume a senior position inside the organization, but those prospects never came to pass.

Samantha Irvin thanked her supporters for their support during her WWE career in a follow-up statement. "Thank you so much, I love WWE and I'm so proud and honored I got to share all the moments with fellow fans. Much love!" Now that her departure has been made public, Irvin's disclosure creates fresh opportunities. Her stint as a ring announcer may be the beginning of a longer career in the business, regardless of whether she follows her passion for managing talent or takes on a different position in professional wrestling.
