Kevin Patrick Lands MLS Hosting Gig, Comments On WWE Departure

Kevin Patrick has an exciting new gig lined up.

Former WWE announcer Kevin Patrick (real name Kevin Egan) announced he has landed a new job as the lead host of MLS 360 on Apple TV. Egan was released by WWE in January.

“Beyond excited to announce that this year I will be Lead Host of MLS 360 on Apple TV. Four hours of live whip-around coverage, jumping from game to game, catching all the goals and big moments as they happen – all alongside three top pros and brilliant people! The rise of our beautiful game here in North America is undeniable. Messi plays here. We’ve got a World Cup on our shores in 2 years. The match attendances & atmospheres are better than ever. And now we’re broadcasting to over 100 countries on Apple TV. Let’s be havin’ ya,” Egan wrote on Twitter.

“Nothing but love for 3 incredible years at WWE,” he added in a follow-up post. “From the exhilarating experiences & all the brilliant friends I worked with along the way, I’m flooded with gratitude. In saying that, it was time to turn the page, and I couldn’t be more excited for this new chapter! Cheers”

Egan’s WWE career

Egan joined WWE in March 2021, beginning his stint as a backstage correspondent, commentator, and host for the RAW brand. Patrick then moved to SmackDown in 2023, where he was paired alongside Corey Graves and Michael Cole on commentary. With Cole’s move to RAW, Graves and Patrick worked as a tandem on WWE’s blue brand.

Multiple outlets reported Egan’s run on SmackDown was coming to an end, noting it “just wasn’t working out.” PWInsider.com provided more information, noting that while Egan was well-liked personally, but there was a feeling “for some time” that the role was not the right fit.
