In a recent episode of his podcast “What Happened When”, AEW commentator Tony Schiavone shed light on Samantha Irvin’s surprising exit from WWE and shared his views on why he doesn’t foresee her becoming a part of Tony Khan’s ensemble.
It has been widely reported on eWn that Irvin’s departure from WWE was not to move over to AEW, but to concentrate on other ventures and to advance her music career, unconnected with wrestling.
Below are some pertinent points from the podcast discussion:
On the possibility of Samantha Irvin joining AEW: “We already got the best ring announcer in the world with Justin Roberts, and Arkady Aura is another exceptional ring announcer, who’s a terrific individual and is doing impeccably well. I can’t see [Samantha Irvin] joining us. That’s just my opinion, but why would she?”
On the potential of being mistaken and her sudden appearance at Dynamite: “I might land in Salt Lake City tonight, and she might be there.”
