Samantha Irvin Says She Was Offered a Record Deal From WWE But ‘Politely Declined’

Samantha Irvin has revealed that she was offered a record deal from WWE but “politely” turned it down. The former WWE ring announcement responded to a new-deleted tweet from a wrestling fan to note that she WWE made her the offer but that she said no because despite putting out some songs during her time away from wrestling, she isn’t interested in the music business.

Irvin wrote:

“WWE offered me a record deal, to which I politely declined because I have no interest in the music business! My interest was in managing wrestlers. And that’s all I’ve ever expressed. I made some songs last year for fun & videos with my colleagues from Cirque du Soleil and released independently for my singing fans from before wrestling but other than that, I made no proclamations about or efforts towards a ‘music’ career. Singing career wise, I’ve had a fantastic one, though!!! Saw the world multiple times over️”

Irvin released three singles over the last year as she was waiting for her WWE non-compete to expire in “Shawty Wanna,” “Assumin’,” and “Sweet.” As she said, she noted when she left WWE that she didn’t enjoy ring announcing and wanted to be a manager.

Samantha Irvin is set to become a free agent shortly. She is not expected to join AEW right away, though there has been discussion within the company about her coming on board.
