Samantha Irvin reveals two-year no-compete clause after WWE departure

Just when WWE no-compete clauses have been a major topic of discussion due to Andrade El Idolo’s situation, former WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin revealed something worse than Andrade’s clause!

Andrade is believed to have triggered his one-year no-compete in the United States because he was effectively fired from his job following multiple Wellness Program violations and disciplinary issues.

While the one-year no-compete was widely panned, Irvin today revealed that she actually had a two-year clause, which is why she never popped up in another wrestling company since leaving WWE.

“One year down, one year left on my non-compete! Can’t wait,” Irvin wrote responding to someone on X noting it’s been a year since she has departed WWE.

“I hope you enjoy my songs in the meantime and look back on all the memories as fondly as I do! Love & miss you all and remember – I NEVER left FOR music, I am music. Hope to see you soon…,” she added.

Irvin, who admitted she hated ring announcing despite being universally-loved for her passion behind each introduction, said that the gig was only supposed to be her way in as she was interested in managing.

“But WWE saw no other future for me besides announcer,” Irvin wrote at the time of her departure. “I love watching the action but I don’t love being an announcer.”
