Special Guest Announcer Revealed for AEW Grand Slam Shows

Veteran DJ/radio host DJ Whoo Kid has been announced as the special guest announcer for Wednesday’s Grand Slam edition of AEW Dynamite.

There’s no word yet on what exactly Whoo Kid will be doing, or if he will do ring announcing or commentary, but a press release issued today indicates that he will be working the Dynamite and Rampage Grand Slam shows, but that has not been confirmed by AEW as of now.

“I’m excited to be a part of this event. It promises to have a lot of surprises in store. As a radio personality and co-host, I’m looking forward to branching out and announcing a wrestling match. I hope this is just the beginning of my being part of the AEW family,” Whoo Kid said in a press release.

Whoo Kid and AEW World Tag Team Swerve Strickland indicated on social media that the DJ will do ring announcing for The Acclaimed’s title shot from Swerve In Our Glory.
