ADNAN VIRK LEAVES WWE

WWE announced today that lead Monday Night RAW commentator Adnan Virk and the company have agreed to “mutually part ways.” Virk had signed a multi-year contract deal where he would serve as the play-by-play commentator for Monday Night RAW last month, but ended up only working seven episodes and one pay-per-view event.

There has not been an announcement by WWE yet on who will be replacing Virk. Currently, Corey Graves and Byron Saxton work on RAW while Pat McAfee and Michael Cole are the commentators on Friday Night SmackDown.

Adnan Virk posted on his Twitter social media account today announcing his departure and cited that the travel and his other jobs was too much for him and his family. Below is Virk’s tweet from today:

Thanks to @WWE for a wonderful opportunity. The weekly travel along with my other jobs was a grind for me and my family. Am grateful to everyone with the company especially @WWEGraves and @ByronSaxton for being such fantastic teammates. https://t.co/lrP0fCAMXz
