Kevin Patrick is no longer employed by WWE as he has been released by the company.
Before WWE
Patrick, real name Kevin Egan, joined the company in March 2021, where he worked as a backstage correspondent for Monday Night Raw, as a play-by-play commentator for WWE Main Event, and as the host of Raw Talk.
Before going to WWE, Patrick had worked as a studio host, play-by-play commentator, and reporter. Patrick started his career by working for RTE, Ireland’s National Broadcaster, where he covered soccer events and the 2004 Olympics. In 2009, he went to work for the Big Ten Network before being hired by the Chicago Fire Soccer Club as a television commentator and analyst from 2012-2015. He went to Miami to join beIN SPORTS as a studio presenter and match commentator.
WWE tenure
Patrick replaced Jimmy Smith as the lead announcer of WWE Raw a few years ago as WWE had high hopes for Patrick. Last August, WWE changed up the announce teams by putting Michael Cole with him as they believed him working alongside Cole would contribute to his growth as a broadcaster.
WWE quickly changed plans for the SmackDown announce team earlier this month once Cole was removed from SmackDown and just focused on Raw. Word broke earlier this week that Patrick was removed from the role.
Pwinsider reported today that WWE has officially released Patrick. He has yet to comment on the departure.
