Kevin Kelly Departs All Elite Wrestling

All Elite Wrestling commentator Kevin Kelly has reportedly been fired by the promotion, according to PWTorch. This news comes after Kelly's social media criticism of AEW announcer Ian Riccaboni and his role on the company's "Collision" program.

On March 7th, speculation began swirling when Kelly was removed from the AEW roster page. Later that night, during the tapings of "AEW Collision," Kelly was noticeably absent from the announcer's desk. Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness handled commentary duties for the show.



Kelly had been a fixture on the "Collision" announce team since its launch. He previously held a long-standing role as part of the English announce team for New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). However, AEW added Tony Schiavone to the "Collision" desk and positioned him as the lead play-by-play commentator, a move interpreted by some as a response to Kelly's perceived shortcomings.

The reasons behind Kelly's departure remain unconfirmed by AEW officials, but reports suggest his social media actions played a part.
