* BaritoneOfStrength: Not for herself, but it seems that the stronger the wrestler she has to announce, the more deep and strong-sounding her voice becomes to match, hence why her introduction for ''[[RedBaron Der Ring General]]'' [[Wrestling/{{Walter}} Gunther]] became memetic for sounding worthy of a {{Valkyrie|s}}.
* BreakTheCutie: Her role in the Logal Paul/Ricochet feud seemed to be this, as Paul ordered Samantha to announce his victory over Ricochet (Samantha's boyfriend) over and over again; whenever the camera panned to her, poor Sam looked like she was about to cry.
* HammyHerald: For the par the course with WWE announcers, but Samantha's known for putting her own twist on each announcement.
** What first bought her the attention of the fans was her particularly over-the-top way of announcing [[Wrestling/{{Walter}} Gunther]] (seemingly to complement his very martial "the mat is sacred" gimmick) which resulted in his name being pronounced by her as '''"GOOONTAAAHHHH!"'''
** She would later add her own spin to the introduction of Chelsea Green after Green's return to WWE in 2023; since Green would adopt a ValleyGirl gimmick, Irvin decided to apply for her the most Valley Girl-esque voice imaginable, resulting in her name coming as if Irvin is almost {{Squee}}-ing it: "Chelsea ''Greeeen!!!''"
** ''[=WrestleMania=] XL'' would prove to be a showcase for Samantha's vocal range. Besides giving emotional announcements for equally-emotional wins such as Sami Zayn's and (more memorably) Cody Rhodes's, a good summation of her announcement style would come when Damian Priest shockingly cashed in his Money in the Bank contract for the World Heavyweight Championship: her announcement of it had her voice particularly strain towards the end, making it sound less like an announcement and more like her asking in disbelief if this was really happening.
--->'''Samantha:''' Damian Priest is cashing in his Money in the Bank '''''CONTRACT?!'''''
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: There have been a few occasions when {{Heel}} wrestlers took an interest in the lovely Samantha and were overall a CasanovaWannabe to her. Interestingly enough, though, most if not all of those occasions involved Ricochet, who's in a relationship with Samantha, making it seem that this is less due to them being actually attracted to Samantha and more as a way for Ricochet's rivals to get at him.
** One match between Ricochet and Wrestling/LAKnight had Knight straight up walk to Samantha at ringside and cut a promo about how he knew that his "undeniable [[YiddishAsASecondLanguage kavorka]]" was irresistible to her, which only helped Knight get hit with one of Ricochet's aerial maneuvers shortly afterwards.
** During Ricochet's feud with Logal Paul, Paul took an ''special'' interest at the way Samantha announced him, making it clear he was fully aware of her relationship with his rival.
* VerbalTic: "[[Wrestling/{{Walter}} GOONTAH]]!"
She seems incapable of announcing [[Wrestling/{{Walter}} Gunther]] without pronouncing it as '''"GOONTAH!"'''
