3 directions for Samantha Irvin that could have happened during her WWE tenure
Image via WWE Samantha Irvin could have explored new directions in WWE if she had been given the opportunity. Samantha Irvin rose to prominence as one of the captivating and enthralling WWE ring announcers of the modern era. Her distinctive voice, taking her antics to the next level, and her unique style made her a prominent figure in the company. However, Irvin shocked her esteemed fanbase by announcing her resignation from WWE last summer. Irvin stated that she only took up the role of ring announcing to transition into more directions within the WWE. Not only that, her music aspirations also contributed to her WWE departure. However, had the regime decided to give her that opportunity to explore more, here are three directions for Samantha Irvin that could have presented her in a different way on WWE television: 3. Second in command to a WWE authority figure Samantha Irvin had a remarkable presence on WWE television programming. She could have followed in the footsteps of past wrestlers like Stacy Keibler and Eve Torres. They were in-ring competitors, but took the role of assistants to the authority figures on WWE television. This could have been a new direction that could have been exciting for Irvin and possibly not led to her exit from the Stamford-based promotion. 2. Manager Another possible role for Samantha Irvin that could have occurred in WWE was that of a wrestling manager. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo The most obvious choice for Irvin to manage would have been her now husband, Ricochet. He was a mid-card attraction for the company, and pairing up with his wife would have been an exciting booking for his career, too. Moreover, this could have happened during Ricochet's feud with Logan Paul when he brought up Irvin, which could have been a stellar sight to witness. 1. Occasional wrestler While many fans may be unaware, Samantha Irvin has undergone training to become an in-ring athlete. She could have created history by becoming the first WWE ring announcer to also step in the ring. She could have had occasional feuds with top stars of the women's division that would have seen her compete in singles and tag team matches. Irvin handling double duties, both as a wrestler and a wrestler, would have made Monday Night RAW a must-see program, especially during her onscreen time.
