As PWMania.com previously reported, Kevin Patrick was removed from his position as an announcer for WWE Smackdown in January 2024, and it was later confirmed that he had been released by WWE.
On Friday, Patrick made his first public comments since his departure through his social media accounts.
โBeyond excited to announce that this year I will be Lead Host of MLS 360 on Apple TV. Four hours of live whip-around coverage, jumping from game to game, catching all the goals and big moments as they happen โ all alongside three top pros and brilliant people!
The rise of our beautiful game here in North America is undeniable. Messi plays here. Weโve got a World Cup arriving on our shores in two years. The match attendances and atmospheres are better than ever. And now weโre broadcasting live to over 100 countries on Apple TV. Pumped! Letโs be havinโ ya! ?
Nothing but love for three incredible years at WWE! From the exhilarating experiences and all the brilliant friends and colleagues I worked with along the way, Iโm flooded with gratitude. In saying that, it was time to turn the page, and I couldnโt be more excited for this new chapter! Cheers โฅ๏ธโ
