WWE Accepts Star’s Request For Presentation Change

WWE

Chelsea Green has thanked Twitter, “for once”, for helping bring back a character trait given to her by Samantha Irvin in WWE.

Irvin’s special introduction for Chelsea Green was previously scrapped, with it being noted the directive had come from a WWE ‘higher up’.

The introduction has since returned to our screens and Chelsea Green opened up about it during an interview with WrestlingNewsCo, saying:

“I don’t know fully where that came from (Samantha Irvin no longer doing her special introduction). But I do know Samantha was told not to say it.

“Now that only lasted, I mean, maybe three weeks? A month?

“My gut tells me that someone high up thought, let’s not make a big scene over all of the entrances. We’re just trying to announce them, we’re trying to have the announcers play their role and things like that, and then, I think, my gut tells me that social media maybe got in someone’s ear and people realized how much they love to hear — the fans love to hear my announcement and honestly, I was so sad to see it go and I felt like a little part of me on my entrance was lost so for me, I did go and I did ask and verbalized, ‘Hey, I love my announcement. I really don’t want it to go anywhere.’

“But of course, at the end of the day, I just have to let it be because I’m still going out there to the ring, I’m still doing my job, I’m still wrestling, you know?

“I said what I had to say and I left it and then three weeks later, after the internet kind of went up in flames over it, it came back and all I have to say is thank you Twitter. For once in my career, thank you Twitter.”

Even Michael Cole got in on the special introduction action as can be seen below, although at the insistence of Pat McAfee who returned to the WWE Raw commentary table on January 29, 2024.

Irvin has previously discussed her style of ring announcing and how she announces specific stars and championships.
