Samantha Irvin Claims WWE Forbid Her & Ricochet From Responding to Haters

Samantha Irvin shocked fans when she announced her WWE exit. A lot of theories followed that, including the idea that she is on her way to AEW now. Although Ricochet did reply to squash that idea, many fans still had plenty to say on the matter. Now that she is no longer under WWE’s thumb, Samantha Irvin can reply to any tweet she likes as well. This was apparently not the case while she was under WWE contract.

In her farewell message, Samantha Irvin wrote, “WWE Universe, my time has come to an end as your Monday Night Raw Ring Announcer. I love you all tremendously and this does not mark the end of my art—I have a lifetime more to share.” That announcement snowballed into much more as fans threw in their opinions and theories about the situation.

This sparked a wave of reactions from all over the pro wrestling world. Since then, Ricochet has fired back against haters who blame him for Samantha Irvin’s exit from the company. That hasn’t stopped the storm of fans who were more than happy to throw out their own theories, which added to the rumor and innuendo surrounding the situation.

One fan tweeted out to say, “the way people been talking about ricochet since he left WWE is f*cking weird man.” This got a few replies as fans seemed to agree with the sentiment. Another fan fired off a reply to this as they said, “His replies to his posts are concerning.”

Although Samantha Irvin was not tagged in any of those tweets, she certainly saw them. The former WWE ring announcer then replied to clarify a bit about what went on behind the scenes. Apparently, they simply were not allowed to reply to fans in this manner, because the company wouldn’t let them.

“Actually we just aren’t allowed to respond. No matter what people say, any response looks bad.”

Samantha Irvin has since said that she didn’t like announcing for WWE. She did clarify that comment, but there are still a lot of fans who have a lot to say about how she is reacting to the controversy surrounding her exit. We will have to see if the storm of controversy continues, but fans are likely to accept the change in time.

Those who reacted to Samantha Irvin’s WWE exit included world-renowned announcer Michael Buffer, who had previously praised her WrestleMania 40 performance. Her voice will certainly be missed on WWE television, no matter what she decides to do next in her career.

We will have more updates on Samantha Irvin’s career in pro wrestling, or wherever she lands next. Her exit certainly sent shockwaves throughout the pro wrestling world, including an AEW trend that was sparked after it was announced that she would be leaving WWE.
