Samantha Irvin Sets the Record Straight on Wrestling Future After WWE Departure

Samantha Irvin unexpectedly left WWE before an episode of Monday Night RAW in October, catching many fans off guard. While fans speculated about her future in wrestling, Irvin has now confirmed that she will return to the industry at some point.

While speaking to USA Today, Samantha Irvin made it clear that she plans to return to wrestling, believing it would be a waste not to continue her journey. She stated that her wrestling career had barely begun and expressed her desire to explore more creative opportunities before making a comeback. Irvin is confident that when she does return, she will bring even more value than before, stating that finishing her story is a priority.

“That’s a guarantee. My wrestling career has barely even begun. I think it would be an absolute waste of everything that I’ve done so far to not continue the story. I gotta finish my story. Now, I want to just see creatively what else I can do. Hopefully, when I come back (to wrestling), I’ll bring even more value than I did before.”

Samantha Irvin previously admitted that she never liked announcing in WWE and that she wanted to do more in the company, such as managing or becoming the General Manager for a brand.

“I don’t like announcing. I’m serious! Announcing was only supposed to be my way in. I wanted to manage, maybe even become general manager one day. But WWE saw no other future for me besides announcer. I love watching the action, but I don’t love being an announcer.”

Samantha Irvin had been considering her decision to leave WWE for a long time, as she now wants to prioritize her music career. Additionally, she started filming for the second season of Churchy, giving her plenty to focus on at the moment.

While Samantha Irvin’s return to wrestling is certain, the timing is still unclear. Whether she returns as a manager, an authority figure, or in a completely new role, fans are excited to see how she reinvents herself.
