Logan Paul Responds To Samantha Irvin Calling Him A ‘Cringe Overreactor’

Logan Paul’s fans have watched him for years, looking for his reactions to a variety of subjects. When Samantha Irvin called him a “cringe overreactor” after seeing a video of him in the crowd at WrestleMania 40, he just had to say something.

WrestleMania 40 left many fans swimming in a sea of emotions. Cody Rhodes raised his title at the end of the two-night event as the company embarked on a new era. Logan Paul saw it all go down, and he was admittedly emotional. 

Speaking on the Impaulsive podcast, Logan Paul brought up how Samantha Irvin called him a “cringe overreactor” in response to a video of him watching the WrestleMania 40 main event go down. In the end, The Maverick just saw it as ironic, because it was coming from her.

“I got emotional watching Cody win, and the ring announcer bullied me. The ring announcer, Samantha Irvin, bullied me. The fiancé of Ricochet, who I beat twice, she bullied me on Twitter. She called me a ‘cringe overreactor.’ It got a ton of favorites. I took it as irony, because if you see the video of her announcing Cody, she’s sobbing. It’s a funny way to take a dig at me, because I’m a cringe overreactor, bro, I’m an overreactor as f*ck. But, she reacts too, so I thought it was kinda funny.”

Logan Paul in WWE

As the current WWE United States Champion, Logan Paul has a deep respect for the pro wrestling industry. Logan Paul’s last defense saw him retain in a triple threat match against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 40.

Logan Paul made a name for himself outside WWE before making his way to pro wrestling. Triple H had to admit that he even laughed at the thought of the YouTuber turned boxer becoming a WWE Superstar.

After seeing a real dedication to the business, even John Cena sang his praises. He said of Paul, “I wish we had found him years ago and this would be his calling. I’m glad he’s found us, because he fits perfectly in what we do here.”

Samantha Irvin’s WrestleMania 40 Performance

WWE fans noticed Irvin’s voice crack at the end of WrestleMania Sunday as she announced Cody Rhodes as the new Undisputed WWE World Champion. She had to fight through real tears to make that call to the Lincoln Financial Field crowd. 

Samantha Irvin’s name trended during WrestleMania 40 due to her fantastic job as ring announcer. The legendary Michael Buffer even gave her flowers after seeing how she owned the microphone, even through genuine emotions.

WWE’s Samantha Irvin Receives Huge Praise From Legendary Ring Announcer Michael Buffer After WrestleMania 40

WWE’s biggest show of the year had many highlights. WrestleMania 40 is over now, but fans can still hear Samantha Irvin’s voice in their heads.

Samantha Irvin’s performance at WrestleMania 40 drew praise from fans all over. Her emotional announcement of Cody Rhodes as the new Undisputed Universal Champion will go down in history. She also received accolades from one of the greatest who ever picked up a microphone.

Michael Buffer is a legendary ring announcer. His “Let’s Get Ready To Rumble” catchphrase is known throughout the world. He posted on Twitter/X to praise Samantha Irvin in huge fashion, as he commended her timing, energy, and overall performance.

Ring announcer Samantha Irvin ruled @WrestleMania last night & her emotional final announcement was awesome! She was featured on camera-ring center-that was a smart production move & she was just brilliant! Her timing, pace, drama, energy was perfect!

Samantha Irvin’s Special Skills

Strangely enough, WWE told Samantha Irvin to nix the special entrances she gives talent. After fans noticed, it seems that she is allowed to call their names in whatever manner she sees fit.

Irvin has many talents, including playing the flute. She can also sing like nobody’s business, and she demonstrated both of those talents as she rocked out Razor Ramon’s theme song at WaleMania 2024. You can check out her performance there, along with many other highlights from that night, here.

Ricochet is certainly proud of his fiancé as she continues receiving praise from all over. This just goes to show that her talents are being recognized outside the pro wrestling bubble.

Samantha Irvin’s Ring Announcing Praised as a Highlight of WrestleMania

WrestleMania 40 was an emotional night for many and Samantha Irvin couldn’t help but get choked up in the closing moments of the show’s second night. 

At WWE WrestleMania 40: Sunday, Rhodes finished the story by capturing the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship from Roman Reigns. Rhodes’ desire to become a WWE World Champion (an accolade his father never achieved) has been the vocal point of his career since returning to WWE in 2022. 

Fans watching WWE WrestleMania 40: Sunday may have noticed that Irvin struggled to make the official announcement that Rhodes had become the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. In footage shared online, the Raw announcer can be seen being overcome with emotion seeing her friend finally win ‘the big one.’

This wasn’t Irvin’s only case of feeling emotional at WWE WrestleMania 40. During the Saturday broadcast, Irvin sounded like she was struggling after Sami Zayn dethroned GUNTHER to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

Irvin’s passionate announcing has earned her praise from several notable names. Former WWE announcer Lillian Garcia has praised the passion of Irvin and has said she is doing an “amazing job” in the role. Legendary sports announcer Michael Buffer of “Let’s Get Ready to Rumble” fame described Irvin as “awesome” and said in May 2023 that believes she should be front and center when making announcements. 

Kayla Braxton said during an edition of the Insight podcast that Irvin is going to be “historical for this company.” In the interview, she added that Irvin has a very hard job but that she’s knocked it out of the park.

The Superstars of the WWE have been talking following the explosive WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth Premium Live Event. 

The event marked WWE’s first Premium Live Event in Australia since 2018. In the main event, Rhea Ripley retained her Women’s World Title against Nia Jax in front of thousands of her fellow Australians. Drew McIntyre won the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, earning a World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40. Becky Lynch won the Women’s Elimination Chamber match. She will face Ripley at WrestleMania 40. 

WWE Elimination Chamber Reactions

Taking to Twitter after the Women’s Elimination Chamber match, Seth Rollins was thrilled to see his wife Becky Lynch emerge the victor. 

Cody Rhodes reacted to his own segment and found it hilarious that the crowd was happy to be recognized as ‘Cody Crybabies.’

Raw announcer Samantha Irvin had a mixed time watching the show. While she was thrilled to see Randy Orton eliminate Logan Paul, her mood soured when Paul attacked Orton, helping Drew McIntyre get the win. 

Trinity shared some photos of her time at Elimination Chamber: Perth. 

Drew McIntyre was proud to dub himself the Savior of WrestleMania. McIntyre has taken credit for injuring CM Punk and pushing Cody Rhodes to challenge Roman Reigns instead of Seth Rollins. 

It wasn’t just WWE Superstars who reacted to the show. Ahead of her Women’s World title match, Rhea Ripley’s fiancee Budy Matthews wished the Eradicator luck in her title match.

49ers Vs. Chiefs: WWE Superstars Give Their Picks for Super Bowl LVIII

The Superstars of WWE have weighed in as to whether it’ll be the San Francisco 49ers or the Kansas City Chiefs who stand tall at Super Bowl LVIII. 

The Big Game is mere hours away with excitement for the Super Bowl at a fever pitch. The match will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, which WWE fans will recognize as the host of SummerSlam 2021. 

WWE Stars Give Their Picks for Super Bowl LVIII: 49ers or Chiefs?

Football fans have their picks for who’ll be winning Super Bowl LVIII, as do the WWE Superstars. In a recent video, the Superstars were asked for their predictions for the Big Game. 

In the 49ers’ corner, the team has Jey Uso, who made it clear he’s red and gold ’til he’s dead and cold and threw in a YEET for good measure. San Francisco’s own ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio is unsurprisingly backing the 49ers, as is the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble match winner Bayley and Alpha Academy’s Otis. 

The Kansas City Chiefs have some considerable star power of their own, in addition to Taylor Swift. R-Truth is backing the Chiefs, while Baron Corbin was practically offended anyone thought he wouldn’t be rooting for the team. Carlito is also backing the 49ers, as is WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis. WWE Raw announcer Samantha Irvin is also backing the 49ers. 

Not everyone had a clear-cut favorite, as Byron Saxton said that Taylor Swift was going to win the game herself. WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Asuka and Kairi Sane simply laughed off the question. When the pair were asked the question in 2020 (which again featured the 49ers and the Chiefs), the Kabuki Warriors made it clear that they didn’t care. 

There’s some WWE involvement happening right now at Super Bowl LVIII…

Ricochet Reacts After WWE Higher Up Nixes Special Entrance from Samantha Irvin

WWE Superstar Ricochet believes that people should stop and think before leaping to assumptions after Samantha Irvin changed one of her entrance announcements. 

Irvin, who is Ricochet’s fiancee, joined WWE a few years ago and has impressed as an announcer. At this year’s WrestleMania 39, Irvin announced Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes for their Undisputed WWE Universal Championship main event on Night Two. After previously announcing for WWE NXT, 205 Live, and SmackDown, Irvin was moved to Raw during this year’s WWE Draft.

Ricochet Reacts to Reports

Part of what has made Irvin a favorite among fans is her unique approach to announcing certain Superstars. On the latest episode of Raw, however, Irvin gave a much more tamed-down announcement of Chelsea Green compared to what fans have heard from her. A WWE higher-up made the call for Irvin’s bubbly announcement of Green to be nixed and while some have pushed for its return, that hasn’t happened yet. 

Taking to Twitter, Ricochet said that fans should “let things play out” and added that people should “stop making assumptions.” The former Intercontinental Champion added that “we all just want the best for everyone.”

If Samantha Irvin is allowed to bring her inflection for Green’s entrance back, it won’t be on tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw. Instead, tonight’s show will be a best-of-2023 compilation featuring some of the most exciting matches from Raw over the past 12 months. 

Samantha Irvin dreamed of being compared to Lillian Garcia, now it happens every day. Click here to find out more.

Samantha Irvin Told To Nix Chelsea Green’s Special Introduction By WWE Higher-Up

WWE fans love the little things that make watching the show special. Samantha Irvin has received a considerable amount of attention in recent memory, thanks to how much she puts into each Superstar introduction. It appears that the fan-favorite introduction for Chelsea Green is now a thing of the past.

Samantha Irvin’s Special Ring Announcement Nixed

Fans were quick to notice that Samantha Irvin introduced Chelsea Green’s name on RAW without giving it her usual inflection. It appears that this was not her call to switch things up at all.

Sean Ross Sapp noted on Fightful Select that a WWE higher-up made the call to nix Chelsea Green’s unique ring introduction. At this time, some people are fighting for the introduction to return, but it hasn’t happened yet.

We followed up on Samantha Irvin noting that it wasn’t her call to scrap the special Chelsea Green entrance. We’re told that word backstage was that the direction came directly from a WWE higher up and many were pushing for it to return.

Samantha Irvin Speaks On Special Chelsea Green Introduction

During an appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Samantha Irvin previously commented on her special introduction for Chelsea Green. She said, “It’s just her. She came back, and her attitude and everything, it’s just so sassy, I love it.”

WWE fans will likely keep an ear out during Chelsea Green’s next ring announcement. Samantha Irvin also gives her own flair to other Superstars like Ludwig Kaiser and GUNTHER, so we have to wonder if that unnamed WWE higher-up will make a call to nix those introductions as well.
