After vast criticism from fans, it looks like Kevin Patrick has now been removed from his SmackDown commentary duties.

This report comes from Dave Meltzer who on the latest edition of Observer Radio stated:

"Kevin Patrick's gone. Unless something changes. I don’t know details, I don't know who's gonna be replacing him. I'm not surprised.

"Like I said, I'm not surprised. Corey Graves has been totally carrying the SmackDown announcing. I don't know who they'll bring in, could be Vic Joseph.

"Nick Khan likes to hire sports people, but the problem is, announcing sports and announcing wrestling are very different. Jimmy Smith did a good job, but that's because he announced real fights and tried to announce wrestling in a real fight way."

We will keep you posted on any news relating to Patrick’s replacement.
