Long-time WWE on-screen host Scott Stanford says he has worked his final day with the company.

58-year-old Stanford posted on X this week that he wrapped up his WWE stint, ending a run which first started in 2009 and saw him work in various roles.

“When you walk out of the studio on your last day @WWE!” he wrote, alongside a clip of colleagues applauding him on his way down a hall. “15 year run… Nothing but love! Hope to make it back one day!”

Stanford was a prominent host on WWE recap shows, including “This Week In WWE,” “Bottom Line,” and “Afterburn.”

Stanford was seen in a wide variety of roles, including hosting pre-shows for events. Canadian viewers will remember Stanford always referring to himself as “Your buddy, your pal” when delivering the News Slam ad read on Sportsnet broadcasts, plugging upcoming WWE events in the country.

Stanford continues to work as a news anchor for New York-based radio stations 1010WINS and All News 92.3 FM NY.
