Adnan Virk discussed his hiring by WWE and how WWE President Nick Khan helped him get the job in a new interview. The new Raw play-by-play man spoke with the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast, and you can check out some highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):
On Nick Khan’s influence on his hiring: “The way it went down was Nick Khan was my longtime agent at CAA, and of course, he’s now the president of WWE. This is a relationship business, so you have a good relation with somebody, that means something. And when Nick left, I spoke to him and thanked him for all he did for me and my family. I’ll always be so grateful to Nick and his stewardship and mentorship, and I said something to the effect of, ‘Hey, if there’s anything for me, let me know.’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, okay, sure.’ Never thinking it would come to fruition and my understanding is the WWE brain trust wanted a new voice, wanted something different, and Michael Cole, in addition to being the voice of SmackDown, is obviously a part of the brain trust.
