Previously, Adnan worked at ESPN where he primarily covered college football and baseball. He was also a studio host for ESPN’s college football coverage and a play-by-play announcer and studio host for the network’s coverage of Major League Baseball. He has guest-hosted SportsCenter, Outside the Lines, Olbermann, ESPN’s coverage of the College World Series, and Mike & Mike.

Editor’s Opinion:

While this is a somewhat shocking announcement, it’s not particularly surprising. From the opening broadcast, you could tell that Virk had a difficult time adjusting to WWE and their style of entertainment. However, after seeing his work for many years, he is very talented at what he does and will land on his feet, no doubt.
