On X, several wrestlers and names in the wrestling world reacted to Irvin’s statement. You can check out some of the reactions below:
It isn’t just those from the world of wrestling who are sad to see the back of Samantha Irvin as Michael Buffer also shared his reaction. The legendary boxing announcer praised Irvin after her work at this year’s WrestleMania 40 PLE.
Irvin joined WWE in 2021, at the recommendation of WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry. Initially part of WWE 205 Live, Irvin rose quickly to the main roster and has announced on both Raw and SmackDown. Her enthusiastic calls for the likes of GUNTHER, Chelsea Green, and others quickly endeared her with fans who will miss her work each week.
We at SEScoops would like to wish Samantha the very best in whatever comes next for her in her career.
