Kevin Patrick Lands Job with MLS – Former WWE announcer Kevin Patrick has found a new home in Major League Soccer (MLS), as announced in a press release from the league. Patrick will be hosting MLS 360 on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, a role that is sure to offer exciting opportunities.
Joining Patrick on MLS 360 will be a talented lineup including Sacha Kljestan, Kaylyn Kyle, and Bradley Wright-Phillips, promising an engaging and dynamic program for soccer fans.
Patrick’s journey to MLS comes after his departure from WWE last month, where he served as the lead announcer for Raw. His tenure with WWE began in March 2021, initially working as a backstage correspondent for Monday Night Raw before transitioning to roles as a play-by-play commentator for WWE Main Event and the host of Raw Talk.
During his time with WWE, Patrick showed promise and potential, with the company envisioning him as a key member of their broadcast team. He was paired with Michael Cole on Raw, with WWE hoping that this partnership would aid in his development as a broadcaster. However, changes within WWE led to shifts in announce teams, ultimately resulting in Patrick’s departure from the role and his eventual release from the company.
On Friday, Patrick posted a statement to social media commenting on his new job and reflecting on his time in WWE. Patrick said he has nothing but love for the three years he spent in WWE, but it was time to turn the page:
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
