Kevin Kelly, the broadcaster for AEW Collision since the show’s debut last June, has been removed from the AEW roster page.
Kelly gained attention due to remarks he made on social media claiming he was “libeled” by ROH broadcaster Ian Riccaboni. Kelly alleged that he was continually getting “pushed aside” in his broadcaster role.
In a series of posts he shared on Twitter on March 2, Kelly wrote,
“I do the same thing in AEW because it’s critical to explain the why. But the idea of what I bring to the table is lost there because Ian libeled me. So I sit on the bench, valued by my peers, waiting to get my number called.”
He later added, “I keep asking why but get pushed aside. It’s ok because there is no one better than me. Ask the ones that know and they’ll tell you.”
Kelly used to serve as the lead English broadcaster for NJPW before his AEW signing.
AEW has yet to issue an official statement regarding Kelly’s status.
