Samantha Irvin recently revealed an interesting detail about her departure from WWE. On social media, she claimed to have informed the company about her exit months ago.
Irvin signed with the Stamford-based company in 2021. She started as the ring announcer for 205 Live before moving to NXT. In 2022, she joined the main roster as part of SmackDown. She eventually moved to Monday Night RAW and continued to be part of the brand until she departed from the promotion.
On Twitter/X, Irvin reacted to a tweet suggesting that WWE was informed about her departure hours before this week's edition of Monday Night RAW. The 35-year-old announcer denied the rumor with the following message:
"Months* before RAW," wrote Irvin.

Jonathan Coachman speculated that Samantha Irvin departed from WWE due to pregnancy
Jonathan Coachman recently discussed Samantha Irvin's shocking departure from WWE.
On the Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, Coachman speculated that Irvin possibly wanted to take time off before delivering her baby. The former WWE personality added that he wasn't sure about the circumstances surrounding the 35-year-old's exit.
"So, I did a little bit of digging. I thought about the history of certain women walking away shockingly without any notice. And most of the time they are pregnant. 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."
Irvin's partner and former WWE Superstar, Ricochet, departed from the company earlier this year. He is signed to All Elite Wrestling and has already competed in several marquee matches. It remains to be seen whether Irvin decides to continue in the world of professional wrestling.
