NEW DELHI: WWE Superstar
Sheamus
took to social media to express his heartfelt sentiments after the news broke that
Kevin Patrick
had been released from his WWE contract earlier today.
Kevin Patrick, 38, had been a part of the WWE for nearly three years. Starting as a backstage interviewer, he later transitioned to the commentary desk on
SmackDown
, filling the void left by the departure of long-time commentator
Jimmy Smith
.
However, Patrick was recently removed from the SmackDown brand, and today's announcement confirmed his release from the company.
Sheamus, who has been absent from in-ring action for the past few months, shared a
farewell message
on Twitter, acknowledging Kevin Patrick's professionalism and expressing pride in working with him. The Celtic Warrior, a fellow Irishman, extended best wishes for Patrick's future endeavours:
"Such a privilege to have worked with Kevin Patrick, a true professional and a true Irish man. I hope to see more great things from this fella in the future.. may the road rise to meet ya!"
