Samantha Irvin reacts after former WWE star makes a surprising debut in AEW

Former WWE ring announcer, Samantha Irvin gave her reaction to a former WWE name making a surprising AEW debut. Samantha actually joked after many fans were confused about the recent debut.

Jojo Offerman worked in the Stamford-based promotion as a ring announcer and backstage interviewer before her departure from the company in 2021. She was also in a relationship with the late, great, Windham Rotunda (aka Bray Wyatt).

Jojo Offerman surprisingly appeared in AEW as a ring announcer for a special match ahead of the most recent Collision episode. Fans were happy to finally see Jojo back on the wrestling scene in some capacity. However, a chunk of fans also confused Jojo with Samantha Irvin, thinking Samantha had joined All Elite Wrestling.

Samantha departed from WWE a few months ago and has been rumored to join Tony Khan’s promotion as her fiance, Ricochet, is also there. Irvin reacted to Jojo Offerman’s debut in AEW as a ring announcer on X by joking and pretending that it’s her debut playing along with the confused fans:

“I’m bout to kill it like never before 💯 🎙️.”

Ricochet on if he wants Samantha Irvin to be his ring announcer in AEW

Former WWE Superstar, Ricochet was asked whether he’d like his fiancee, Samantha Irvin to become his special ring announcer in AEW. Speaking on The Wrestling Classic podcast, Rico said he doesn’t want Irvin to be a ring announcer:

“Probably not. I would say no… I wouldn’t even want her to do that. I think she just doesn’t want to be a ring announcer at all. […] she still would love to be a character, be in a story, she would love to be… you know, make the fans feel emotions, and make them go through the roller-coaster of emotions that she would like.”

Only time will tell if Samantha will ever be seen on All Elite Wrestling.
