Samantha Irvin leaves WWE in a professional wrestling blowout

WWE is getting a newwwwwwww ring announcer.

Samantha Irvin, one of the best to hold the job for WWE in recent history, announced Monday that she has left the company.

“To the Women’s Locker Room: You are the most incredible group of people on this earth. I am beyond proud to be your colleague and friend.”

A source with knowledge of WWE’s operations told The Post that the split was “completely amicable.”

Irvin earned high praise from WWE fans for the vociferousness with which she poured her emotions into announcing ring entries and title changes, as well as her spontaneous reactions to surprising storyline moments like The Rock’s return.

Irvin is passionate about her music; she once appeared on “America’s Got Talent” and recently gave a beautiful rendition of the national anthem at the Steelers-Raiders in Las Vegas.

It is unclear whether Irvin will remain in professional wrestling; her fiancé, wrestler Ricochet, recently left WWE for AEW.

In her farewell letter, Irvin thanked Triple H, Paul Heyman, Michael ‘PS’ Hayes, Michael Cole, Brian Armstrong (the Road Dogg), Gabe Sapolsky, George Carroll Jr. and Mark Henry.

“To the WWE Superstars, past and present, I have thanked you since 1989 and will continue to thank you for keeping us entertained for the rest of my days. To keep raising the bar. For risking your body and finding new ways to keep us shocked and wanting more,” Irvin wrote.

“There’s no entertainment like it and not just any entertainer can be a WWE superstar. The respect I have for you is more than I can express. Thank you for making it so easy to pour emotion and excitement into your introductions. You are the stars that the stars idolize. It can’t get any bigger and I’m proud to have used my voice to let the world know.”

A WWE spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
