WWE announcer Samantha Irvin has driven the internet wild with her latest social media post!
Taking to her Instagram page, Irvin posted a series of photos and videos from the past week as part of her ‘hump day dump’ series. This week, the post features various Money In The Bank moments like her singing the US National Anthem to open the show and announcing Tiffany Stratton and Seth Rollins‘ entrances.
However, one particular photo has attracted more attention than any other. The very first photo in the post sees Irvin taking a selfie in front of a mirror almost entirely nude apart from wearing a top and a chair covering her lower body.
At the time of writing, the post is one of her most-liked on her Instagram page within the last week – currently sitting at almost 190,000 likes.
An AEW Championship has been vacated during a taping for an upcoming TV program!
Following last night’s edition of AEW Dynamite, a taping took place for this week’s AEW Collision which saw The Bang Bang Club stripped of their Unified AEW Trios Championship due to Jay White being unable to defend his third of the title due to injury.
During the taping, the two remaining active champions, Austin and Colten Gunn attempted to enact the Freebird Rule to have Juice Robinson replace White as champion. However, authority figure Christopher Daniels refused their request, instead announcing that the group would be stripped of the belts.
In addition, a match featuring The Gunns and Robinson against The Patriarchy’s Christian Cage, Killswitch and Nick Wayne will take place at an as-yet-undetermined date for the now-vacant championship.
After almost a year and a half away from WWE, Alexa Bliss appears to be training inside a ring once more!
The multi-time WWE Women’s Champion recently took to her Instagram Story to share a photo of her first backwards handspring since she gave birth last November. The manoeuvre was performed inside a ring, suggesting that she is perhaps training to return to WWE in an in-ring capacity.
Bliss hasn’t competed whatsoever since unsuccessfully challenging Bianca Belair for the then-Raw Women’s Championship at the 2023 Royal Rumble almost 18 months ago.
A few days ago, Bliss also posted a throwback clip to her ‘Goddess’ persona which she used for much of her time on the WWE main roster before her alliance with ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt. Some fans have taken the post to be a tease for her WWE return in the near future.
