Virk made his debut on the RAW following WrestleMania 37. He was brought in, along with Smackdown color commentator Pat McAfee, to bring a more “mainstream” vibe to the broadcast. His seven week tenure was not well received by WWE fans. Virk continues to work as a broadcaster for MLB Network and DAZN. In a follow up tweet, he indicated that travel had played some part in his decision to leave.
Thanks to @WWE for a wonderful opportunity. The weekly travel along with my other jobs was a grind for me and my family. Am grateful to everyone with the company especially @WWEGraves and @ByronSaxton for being such fantastic teammates. https://t.co/lrP0fCAMXz
