WWE is making an announcing change.
Wrestling Observer and PWInsider both report that Kevin Patrick is out as the lead announcer on WWE SmackDown. No replacement has been named.
Aaron Varble first reported the news.
Patrick became the lead announcer on WWE Raw beginning in October 2022. In August 2023, he and Graves swapped shows with Michael Cole and Wade Barrett, putting Patrick & Graves on WWE SmackDown. Cole would call both shows until earlier this month.
Patrick joined WWE in March 2021 and filled multiple roles, including the host of Raw Talk. He also hosted the After The Bell podcast with Graves, but the podcast ended at the end of 2023.
