Status update on 28-year-old's appearance on WWE RAW
Samantha Irvin provided an update on her status for WWE Raw after her viral botch at Money in the Bank on Saturday. Irvin has been the ring announcer for the red brand since the WWE Draft.
The 28-year-old announcer started her career in NXT before being promoted to SmackDown last year. She then switched places with Mike Rome to become the ring announcer for Raw following the draft.
At Money in the Bank in London, Irvin was the announcer for the Women's MITB ladder match. She messed up Bayley's introduction by calling her a member of The Judgment Day instead of Damage CTRL.
It was a funny mistake by Irvin and should not be taken seriously. She even joked about being allowed to enter the CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Maryland, for tonight's Raw.
"THEY LET ME IN THE BUILDING! #WWERAW #grateful," Irvin tweeted.
Samantha Irvin has become a popular figure among fans due to her great voice and enthusiasm. Her introduction of Gunther and Imperium is always top-notch, while some fans are missing her introduction of The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns.
