WWE Name Announces Departure

WWE

WWE NXT announcer Sudu Shah, real name Sudu Upadhyay, has confirmed that he has finished up with the company.

Upadhyay took to Twitter to confirm that the January 10 NXT Level Up taping marked his final appearance for the company.

Grateful for his time with WWE, Upadhyay tweeted:

Yesterday was my final day with the WWE. What an incredible experience working with some of the most talented people I’ve ever met.

Thank you to everyone who watched and supported every week!

Upadhyay signed with WWE in January 2022 as a play-by-play commentator for the 205 Live brand. The cruiserweight show was replaced with NXT Level Up that February.

He previously worked for Fox 5 News in Atlanta, and was a sports anchor on WMC-TV in Memphis for three years.

The now-former WWE announcer had done viral campaigns for the likes of ESPN, Bleacher Report and SBNation prior to signing with WWE. In 2017, he was named a finalist in the Tennessee Associated Press Sportscaster of the Year award.

Upadhyay’s tweet comes after Chairwoman and co-CEO Stephanie McMahon announced her own resignation from the company, which you can read more about right here.
