Kevin Patrick Lands New Job Following WWE Release

At the back end of last month, Kevin Patrick was removed from his position on the Friday Night SmackDown commentary team, and he was shortly released from his WWE deal, parting ways officially with the company. Patrick spent three years in WWE and had a variety of different roles over the years such as backstage correspondent and co-host on both RAW Talk and After The Bell, in addition to his work as a commentator.

It took Patrick no time at all though to land a new job outside of WWE, becoming lead host of MLS 360 on Apple TV. Patrick previously commentated on the MLS before joining WWE.

Patrick recently commented on his release from WWE in a post on X, but looked ahead to the future optimistically with his new job.

“Beyond 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 - all alongside three top pros and brilliant people!

The rise of our beautiful game here in North America is undeniable. Messi plays here. We’ve got a World Cup on our shores in 2 years. The match attendances & atmospheres are better than ever. And now we’re broadcasting to over 100 countries on Apple TV. Let’s be havin’ ya!

Nothing but love for 3 incredible years at WWE! From the exhilarating experiences & all the brilliant friends I worked with along the way, I’m flooded with gratitude. In saying that, it was time to turn the page, and I couldn’t be more excited for this new chapter! Cheers.”

With the exit of Patrick, WWE’s new announce teams on RAW and SmackDown were made up of Michael Cole & Pat McAfee and Corey Graves & Wade Barrett.
