WWE announced today, “WWE and Adnan Virk have mutually agreed to part ways. WWE thanks Adnan for his work.” Randy Orton Text Messages To Raw Star Leak.
As of yesterday even after Raw, Virk was still tweeting about WWE, seemingly unaware of his release today. He appears to have made a tweet calling Xavier Woods ‘Zavier Woods’ that he later deleted after a fan pointed out his mistake.
A fan tweeted, “Hi Upside-down face X-avier not Zavier. Thanks!” Virk responded, “Fixed it thanks.”
Renee Young told Wrestling Inc. about Virk last week, “You’re thrown in, and it’s either sink or swim. And it can just be really difficult. I think even from the commentator standpoint, it’s funny because everyone assumes that, well, you should just be good at. Well, no, it’s not that. You’ve also got someone talking in your ear the whole time. There’s all these crazy expectations. The fans can be voracious when it comes to that. It’s a really tough spot to be in. It’s a really tough spot to succeed in.”
“I don’t want to do a disservice to a story that is being told on television. Everyone’s putting in so much hard work. So everyone just wants to do a good job, and everyone’s just really mean to everyone on commentary,” she said. “Give the guy a break. He’s figuring it out. It just sucks. There’s no way around it. Also, everyone just lives in that mind frame of ‘oh, we just want JR. We just want Jerry The King Lawler.’ People want what they’re familiar with. As much as we crave change and we’re looking for change, we also are freaked out by change.”
Fixed it thanks
