Former WWE star reveals Michael Coel was her boss on the main roster

Samantha Irvin recently shared that Michael Cole was her boss while she was a part of the main roster.

Irvin was a popular ring announcer for the company before her surprising departure last year. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, she shared that Michael Cole was her boss on the main roster and encouraged her to be herself. Samantha added that her emotional reactions to major moments in WWE were completely real.

"Michael Cole was my boss when I came up to the main roster. He literally said, 'Be you. Go out, try it, be you.' Luckily, most things worked. I credit them very much. They gave me creative freedom to play and have fun. That was like mixing being a professional stage performer and vocalist and being a fan that they never should have let in [laughs]. The over-emotion and all that was certainly real and 100% a loss of professionalism in those moments," Samantha Irvin said.

Michael Cole also recently broke his silence on Corey Graves' criticisms of WWE after being sent back down to NXT. The legend suggested that Graves' comments were a shoot and added that the 40-year-old was the best broadcast partner he ever had besides Pat McAfee.
