WWE will have a newwwwwwww ring announcer.
Samantha Irvin, one of the best to hold the job for WWE in recent memory, announced Monday that she has left the company.
“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. Thank you to every WWE fan who accepted me,” Irvin wrote.
“To the Women’s Locker Room: you are the most incredible group of people on the face of this Earth. I am beyond proud to be your colleague and friend.”
A source with knowledge of WWE’s operations told The Post that the split was “totally amicable.”
Irvin drew acclaim with WWE fans for how vociferously she poured her emotion into announcing ring entrances and title changes, as well as her spontaneous reactions to surprise storyline moments like The Rock’s return.
Irvin is passionate about her music — she once appeared on “America’s Got Talent” and just recently delivered a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem at Steelers-Raiders in Las Vegas.
It is unclear whether Irvin will remain in professional wrestling; her fiancé, the wrestler Ricochet, recently left WWE for AEW.
In her farewell note, Irvin went on to thank Triple H, Paul Heyman, Michael ‘PS’ Hayes, Michael Cole, Brian Armstrong (the Road Dogg), Gabe Sapolsky, George Carroll Jr. and Mark Henry.
“To the WWE Superstars, past and present: I have thanked you since 1989 and will continue to thank you for the rest of my days for entertaining us. For raising the bar over and over again. For risking your bodies and finding new ways to keep us shocked and wanting more,” Irvin wrote.
“There is no form of entertainment like this and and not just any entertainer can be a WWE Superstar. The respect I have for you is more than I can express. Thank you for making it so easy to pour emotion and excitement into your introductions. You are the stars that the stars idolize. It doesn’t get any bigger and I’m proud to have used my voice to let the world know it.”
A WWE spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
