Yet another Hip Hop figure will appear on All Elite Wrestling programming. AEW tapped New York City native DJ Whoo Kid for the promotion’s second annual Grand Slam event.
Grand Slam takes place tonight (September 21) inside Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York. DJ Whoo Kid will serve as special guest announcer for a match at the professional wrestling show.
“I’m excited to be a part of this event,” says the on-air presenter for Sirius XM Radio’s Shade 45 station. “It promises to have a lot of surprises in store.”
DJ Whoo Kid continues, “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.”
