Announcer Kevin Kelly claims that AEW fired him after he suffered a “mental breakdown”
In the summer of 2024, it was revealed that announcer Kevin Kelly along with wrestlers Brandon & Brendan Tate were suing AEW. This week, Kelly wrote about a potential new commentary team…
“Put me and Corey Graves together at the desk. Corey would become the biggest commentary star in wrestling because I would actively try to get him over. Let his star shine.”
When a fan claimed that Kelly was “screwed over” by AEW, Kelly responded with the following message…
“All I wanted to do was call wrestling. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d have to listen to a stuttering son of a billionaire feeding me lines and then correcting himself and telling me I was doing great. They waited until I had a mental breakdown to fire me.”
