"Absolutely not" - Retired star not interested in WWE return for a major role

The Paul 'Triple H' Levesque Era has seen many former WWE Superstars being brought back into the fold. However, Kayla Braxton has ruled out the possibility of returning to the Stamford-based promotion for a major role.

Samantha Irvin's sudden departure from WWE left a huge void, at least in the eyes of wrestling fans. Veteran Lilian Garcia replaced her as the ring announcer of Monday Night RAW.

In an interview with Triggered Wrestling, Kayla Braxton was asked if she would be open to replacing Samantha Irvin.

The 33-year-old personality said she hates ring announcing, which Samantha Irvin also confessed following her exit. Braxton described the role as stressful and difficult, confirming that she wouldn't be interested in taking that position.

"Do you know how much I hate ring announcing? Absolutely not. You know how that job is? Ring announcing is the most underrated job ever in the history of wrestling. It's so difficult. It's very stressful, and it makes your voice hoarse. So, no. I am not interested," [H/T: Fightful]

Kayla Becker left the sports entertainment juggernaut this summer. She made her final appearance on the June 28 episode of SmackDown, which saw Cody Rhodes bid an emotional farewell to her.

The broadcast personality has since remained inactive from the wrestling capacity.

Samantha Irvin wanted a different role in WWE

Just days after resigning from her position, Samantha Irvin dropped a bombshell when she disclosed that she didn't enjoy being an announcer and intended to become on-screen General Manager.

"I don’t like announcing, I’m serious! Announcing was only supposed to be my way in. I wanted to manage, maybe even become a 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.”
