Samantha Irvin, bound by a one-year non-compete, can't appear at wrestling events outside WWE despite her music career and AEW ties.

Former WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin confirmed on October 21, 2025, that one year remains on her two-year non-compete agreement, restricting her from appearing at wrestling, boxing, or MMA events outside WWE. She emphasized her music career is an extension of her identity, not a replacement for wrestling, and reiterated her intent to return to pro wrestling in a broader on-screen role. Despite being married to AEW’s Ricochet and attending AEW events, she cannot appear on camera due to the clause, which expires in October 2026.
