Kevin Kelly is no longer with New Japan Pro Wrestling.
The promotion made the announcement on Monday, November 13, noting that Kelly is leaving to pursue outside opportunities. As a result, Kelly will no longer be on the call for Wrestle Kingdom 18 in January.
News about Kelly's departure from the promotion first broke back in September, but he was originally set to finish up with the company at Wrestle Kingdom 18.
Thank you for supporting New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
Kevin Kelly, who has been the English voice of New Japan broadcasts since King of Pro-Wrestling 2015, has departed NJPW to pursue outside opportunities.
Kevin was originally planning to join the English broadcast of Wrestle Kingdom 18 on January 4, but will be unable to attend due to family commitments.
New Japan Pro-Wrestling joins fans in their gratitude for the work Kevin has done to grow the English-speaking audience for NJPW, and for countless memorable calls over the years. We wish Kevin the very best in his future.
Kevin Kelly currently serves on the commentary team for weekly episodes of AEW Collision alongside Nigel McGuinness.
