Kevin Patrick was assigned to Monday Night Raw back in October 2022 in the wake of a complete overhaul in the announce teams within WWE.
While appearing on the latest episode of the Out Of Character podcast, Patrick was asked by Ryan Satin to talk about how much notice he had before his debut as an announcer on Monday Night RAW.
“Not long at all, honestly I was thrust into the spotlight the week of and it’s something that I had been working on doing [commentary] for Main Event. When I got the call, I had no idea. Changes were made, unfortunately. You never wanna see… Jimmy Smith, a friend of mine. You don’t wanna see people move on, but when you’re being told that you’re being trusted with this position, it’s like, ‘Okay, I appreciate that.’ One day, I may be moved on and the next person will come in and I wish them well. It’s just the nature of what we do in live entertainment. So, I didn’t know for long, but I had been working on it week in and week out during Main Event. I love this industry that we’re a part of, I love live television, I love live shows.”
