AEW star Ricochet has made a revelation about a recent WWE departure. He detailed the whole situation surrounding the exit.
Recently, popular ring announcer Samantha Irvin announced her departure from WWE with an emotional message on social media. Fans on the internet began blaming Samantha's fiancee, Ricochet, for her decision to leave the company. For those unaware, the former Speed Champion left the global juggernaut for AEW earlier this year.
In an interview with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, The Future of Flight said the following about Samantha Irvin's WWE exit:

"She's been talking about that for a while, even before my stuff [contract] was up. I think it happened at WrestleMania. I think year's WrestleMania [40] was for her, because, especially for her announcing was only supposed to be like the way into WWE. Because she, first and foremost, is a fan. Before all of that, she grew up with it. Her dad watched it and her brothers grew up with it. So, of course, yes, she's a performer."

Ricochet added that Irvin had a lot to offer besides just being a ring announcer in WWE.
"It's funny because it's hard to explain when you're just a performer, I guess announcing because now she's getting hate because she said she didn't enjoy announcing, but she enjoyed making the WWE Universe feel emotions. She enjoyed using her voice to help promote and help move the company forward, but just literally, the act of ‘Coming to the ring and weighing at 230…’ This is just my example. It's like having Mariah Carey, but she's just a ring announcer, and you don't get any of the other stuff." [H/T: chrisvanvliet.com]
