Samantha Irvin has established herself as a popular personality on WWE TV as the ring announcer on Monday Night Raw. Irvin often puts her own spin on announcements for the company and this saw her produce a unique introduction for Chelsea Green when the former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion makes her way to the ring.
Irvin was told to stop doing the introduction for a brief period in late 2023 but it has since been revived, with Green revealing that she believes the furore on social media was able to bring about a u-turn from WWE.
"I don't know fully where that came from (Samantha Irvin no longer doing her special introduction). But I do know Samantha was told not to say it. Now that only lasted, I mean, maybe three weeks? A month? My gut tells me that someone high up thought, let's not make a big scene over all of the entrances. We're just trying to announce them, we're trying to have the announcers play their role and things like that, and then, I think, my gut tells me that social media maybe got in someone's ear and people realised how much they love to hear - the fans love to hear my announcement and honestly, I was so sad to see it go. And I felt like a little part of me on my entrance was lost so for me, I did go and I did ask and verbalised, 'Hey, I love my announcement. I really don't want it to go anywhere.' But of course, at the end of the day, I just have to let it be because I'm still going out there to the ring, I'm still doing my job, I'm still wrestling, you know?... I said what I had to say and I left it and then three weeks later, after the internet kind of went up in flames over it, it came back and all I have to say is thank you Twitter. For once in my career, thank you Twitter," Green told WrestlingNews.co.
Irvin gave Green her trademark intro on Saturday, January 27 for the women's Royal Rumble match. Green wore LGBTQ+ gear for the match and she revealed why she decided to do so following the show.
