Former WWE on-air talent Charly Caruso (Charly Arnolt) recently spoke with Dana Bebow of The Indianapolis Star about her time with WWE and her future with ESPN.
Caruso announced in late March that she was leaving WWE to take a full-time position with ESPN. She had been working part-time with the sports network since 2018, but recently inked a multi-year contract extension. It was noted that Caruso’s “First Take, Her Take” podcast will continue, but she will also continue to be immersed in ESPN’s other shows, which we’re already seeing. First Take, SportsCenter, SportsNation and other ESPN digital shows are now a part of Charly’s job, and she hopes there will be more.

The WWE Raw commentary booth will be changing once again as sports broadcaster and personality Adnan Virk is reportedly replacing Tom Phillips as lead commentator starting this Monday.
The news was first reported by Wrestling Inc. and confirmed by Mat Men s Andrew Zarian. Dave Meltzer was unable to confirm as of Saturday night.
Virk has a tie to WWE President Nick Khan as he was Virk s agent when he worked with CAA.
Zarian added that Virk, Corey Graves and Byron Saxton will make up the new Raw announce team. It s unknown if that would mean Samoa Joe would head to SmackDown to replace Graves who is currently on the commentary team with Michael Cole.
