Samantha Irvin is giving fans a look at the physical toll of chasing a WWE dream.

On February 19, 2025, she took to Twitter to share before-and-after photos from her WWE Performance Center tryout in December 2020, proving just how intense the process was.

The first photo shows Irvin in a WWE Performance Center Tryout shirt, masked up and ready to go, looking fresh before stepping into the grueling environment of the tryout. But the second photo tells a different story—Irvin, now back home, snapped a mirror selfie revealing massive bruises all over her back and shoulders, proof of the physical punishment she endured.

Her caption was simple but powerful: “Before & after pics from my WWE tryout, Dec. 2020.”

Irvin’s tryout was the beginning of her WWE journey, leading to a successful career as a ring announcer. While she ultimately left WWE to pursue other ventures, she’s already confirmed that she plans to return to wrestling in some capacity.
