10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Logan Paul
9. The Missed Opportunity With Samantha Irvin
Samantha Irvin is absolutely fantastic and does a spectacular job as the regular ring announcer for some of the biggest WWE television shows and PLE's. However, there's one angle she was involved in that screams of a missed opportunity, and it also featured Logan Paul.
Paul feuded with Ricochet leading up to SummerSlam 2023, where Paul prevailed. Ahead of that match, they had a memorable segment on the July 31st edition of Raw, where Paul gleefully bragged that he'd enjoy Irvin (Ricochet's girlfriend) announcing him as the winner.
As mentioned, Paul won, and while Irvin looked annoyed in videos published on social media, she wasn't shown on-camera during the show and there was no disgust in her voice. Ring announcers have been involved in storylines in the past (Melissa Santos in Lucha Underground, for instance, was visibly uncomfortable in interactions with the then-Pentagon Jr. and Marty "The Moth" Martinez), and this was one time where Irvin's trademark enthusiasm worked against her. It's not necessarily Paul's fault, but it's an easter egg of sorts that just doesn't fit.
