Special Guest Announcer Set for AEW Grand Slam Shows

DJ Whoo Kid, a veteran disc jockey and radio host, will serve as the special guest announcer for the Grand Slam edition of AEW Dynamite, which will take place on Wednesday.

A press release that was issued today suggests that Whoo Kid will be working the Dynamite and Rampage Grand Slam shows, but this has not been confirmed by AEW as of right now. There is no word yet on what exactly Whoo Kid will be doing, or if he will do ring announcing or commentary. 

“I’m excited to be a part of this event. It promises to have a lot of surprises in store. As a radio personality and co-host, I’m looking forward to branching out and announcing a wrestling match. I hope this is just the beginning of my being part of the AEW family,” Whoo Kid said in a press release.

On social media, Whoo Kid and Swerve Strickland, one half of the AEW World Tag Team Champions, hinted that the DJ will do ring announcing for The Acclaimed’s title shot against Swerve In Our Glory.
