In the world of televised wrestling matches, several factors that contribute to a successful show. Before the match, a team of employees work tirelessly to ensure that everything is presented perfectly, with ring announcers playing a crucial role.
Kayla Braxton, a former WWE ring announcer, recently spoke about her early experiences in the role, including the challenges she faced, on an episode of Chris Van Vliet’s Insight podcast.
“When I came in, I was a ring announcer,” Braxton said. “People tend to forget that I ring announced for my first several years. I hated it so much.” Braxton believes that current WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin does a sensational job in the role.
“[Samantha] is going to be historical for this company,” Kayla said. “People don’t give ring announcers the credit they deserve a lot of times because they are just this voice of God. That is the hardest job I’ve ever held. When I say that, it’s not because it’s not a great gig, but it terrified me.” Braxton says that she’s better suited to in-studio appearances, as live performance in front of an audience causes her anxiety.
“I have extreme stage fright in front of people. Like, that’s a fact,” Braxton exclaimed. “I have a hard time with people. Then you have to memorize all those things like the weights, the hometowns, the monikers, everything. It’s just a lot to put on the ring announcer and they make it look so freakin easy.”
