Jackie Redmond is ready to talk smack.
WWE announced Jackie Redmond will be joining the company as an on-air host, with her first appearance coming on the October 2 episode of Talking Smack. Redmond covers hockey for the NHL Network and Turner Sports, and was recently announced as a contributor to the NHL on TNT broadcast team.
WWE confirmed the new hire, issuing the following press release to WrestleZone on Friday morning:
Jackie Redmond is set to join WWE as the new co-host of Raw Talk and Talking Smack alongside WWE Analyst and co-host of The Bump Matt Camp.
“As someone who grew up on Stone Cold Stunners and Rock Bottoms, I cannot even begin to explain how excited I am to join WWE,” said Redmond. “There is nothing quite like the WWE Universe and I am so grateful for the opportunity to engage with the most passionate and dedicated fans in sports entertainment every week on Raw Talk and Talking Smack.”
A sportscaster with more than 10 years of experience, Redmond currently serves as a host and reporter covering hockey for both the NHL Network and Turner Sports. She previously spent six years as an anchor for Rogers Sportsnet in Canada, covering all sports as a reporter and hosting a variety of studio programs, including Sportsnet Central and WWE Aftermath.
Redmond began her professional career by winning “Gillette DRAFTED 3: The Search for Canada’s Next Sportscaster” on theScore Television Network in 2011, becoming the only female winner in the show’s five-year history.
Join Redmond Saturday as she makes her Talking Smack debut following Friday Night SmackDown exclusively on Peacock in the US and WWE Network everywhere else.
