WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin has been receiving an overwhelming amount of appreciation from fans after her outstanding performance at WrestleMania XL. Viewers will never forget her second-night finale call, and she has received praise from fans and industry heavyweights like Michael Buffer. Her incredible skill was also recognized by WWE’s Chief Creative Officer, who praised her as an upcoming superstar.
Samantha Irvin’s passionate response during the closing bout of WrestleMania Night 2 rocketed her into the internet limelight after the exciting conclusion of the show. Samantha was overcome with emotion as she broke down in tears to introduce her buddy Cody Rhodes as the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion after he won the impossible match in the main event against Bloodline.
Fans and even later, the great Michael Buffer gave the recorded touching moment high marks when it went viral. Samantha was compared to the greatest in the industry by Buffer, who praised her flawless timing, tempo, drama, and intensity. In agreement with Buffer, Triple H—WWE’s Chief Content Officer—declared Samantha as the company’s very own Michael Buffer.
Emphasizing Irvin’s great skill, Triple H reacted by noting, “If you didn’t already know that @SamanthaTheBomb is a star, here’s your proof. Samantha is @WWE’s @Michael_Buffer.”
Though everyone was taken aback by Samantha’s sincere performance in the main event, she received even more attention when a former WWE referee recently offered a different opinion on her in-ring vocal abilities on social media.
