Samantha Irvin recently left WWE, and many believe she will be joining Ricochet in AEW. However, a new report tells a different story.
Samantha Irvin joined WWE in 2021 and quickly became one of the most recognizable names in the promotion due to her unique way of introducing stars. On social media, she recently announced her exit from the company. After the shocking development, fans began to speculate that the former RAW ring announcer could join her partner Ricochet in AEW.
According to a recent report by PWInsider, Samantha Irvin's WWE contract did not have a non-compete clause, and she can appear in any other promotion. However, she is not planning to continue her career in professional wrestling. Irvin's main focus is on her music career and currently has no plans to join her fiance, Ricochet, in AEW.

Jonathan Coachman has an interesting prediction about Samantha Irvin's future
Since Irvin's abrupt WWE exit, many pro wrestling veterans have shared their opinions on why she may have decided to part ways with the global juggernaut.
On a recent episode of Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, Jonathan Coachman speculated that Irvin left the promotion due to pregnancy. He noted that Irvin was getting married to Ricochet in Las Vegas in a couple of months and wanted to take time off for her delivery.
"So, my prediction is that Samantha Irvin, and I also couple this with the fact that Ricochet, who's her fiance, she's getting married in Vegas in a very short period of time and he came out a couple [of] hours ago, Tommy, and he said that she is not coming to AEW to let that go to rest. Because that was the easy, lazy narrative. So, I believe that, I do not know this to be true but this is my gut, she is pregnant. She wanted to take time off before she has the baby. And I hope that she is, but nobody told me this," he said. [3:13 - 3:59]
A returning Lilian Garcia replaced Irvin on RAW last night. Fans will have to wait and see whether she makes her return to the promotion in the coming years.
