Michael Buffer, the legendary boxing ring announcer, expressed his admiration for Samantha Irvin’s work at WrestleMania 40, deeming it “awesome.”
Irvin got emotional when announcing that Cody Rhodes was the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion following his victory over Roman Reigns last night.
Buffer, who is still the highest-paid ring announcer in sports, tweeted,
“Ring announcer Samantha Irvin ruled @WrestleMania last night & her emotional final announcement was awesome! She was featured on camera-ring center-that was a smart production move & she was just brilliant! Her timing, pace, drama, energy was perfect!”

In a recent interview with Pwinsider, Harry Slash (Harry Grivas), who composed the ECW theme song “This is Extreme,” discussed the song’s inclusion during Paul Heyman’s WWE Hall of Fame appearances.
Heyman utilized the iconic song during the induction ceremony on Friday night and while accompanying the other inductees during WrestleMania 40 (Night Two) last night.
Slash said, “It was unexpected as I thought he’d come out to the current theme music of Roman Reigns but I was humbled and honored to have been a tiny part of the induction of Paul Heyman. I thought the Philadelphia reaction to the tune was insane, cementing the song’s place as one of the greatest wrestling themes ever created, but I would remiss to think that Paul Heyman wouldn’t have gotten an equally huge reaction if he came out to any other or no music at all.”
