The wrestling world was rocked today as Samantha Irvin announced her departure from WWE. The RAW ring announcer is beloved by fans and has been praised by her colleagues, but her time with the sports entertainment juggernaut has come to a surprising end.
Many are now wondering whether the 35-year-old will make the jump to WWE's biggest rival, All Elite Wrestling. Irvin's real-life fiance, Ricochet, recently made his debut for the promotion and is already making waves. The high-flying star was part of a highly acclaimed three-way match for the International Championship at this month's WrestleDream pay-per-view.
Fightful Select has just provided an update on Samantha Irvin potentially heading to AEW. According to the report, All Elite Wrestling hasn't provided an answer on whether the ring announcer will be brought in, but several sources within both companies claimed they would be shocked if Tony Khan didn't attempt to sign her.
Fightful notes that many expected her to depart the company shortly after Ricochet left, with one of the primary reasons being a lighter schedule. Samantha Irvin is held in high regard by wrestling insiders, so fans shouldn't be surprised if she gets an All Elite graphic in the near future.
