Former WWE Announcer Returning To The Company

By Robert Gunier

As noted earlier this week, longtime WWE Spanish announcer Carlos Cabrera will be leaving the company after nearly 30 years with the company. A report that followed after the release indicated that his age, 62, may have contributed to the decision.

It looks as though a former announcer will be taking over his role at the Spanish announce team's desk. Wrestling News is reporting that Jerry Soto has been re-hired by WWE. Soto was released back in November 2020 due to the ongoing budget cut releases occurring since COVID-19 first began.

Soto will work be working alongside Marcelo Rodriguez going forward.

Cabrera, age 62, had been the lead Spanish-language announcer for WWE since 1993, working with Savinovich from 1993-2011, and with Marcelo Rodriguez since 2011. His WWE departure is seen as a shocker because he is something of an icon to the Spanish-language community, viewed similarly as WWE Hall of Famer and current AEW announcer Jim Ross was to fans of a generation. Originally from Bogotá, Colombia, Cabrera worked as an award-winning newsman and radio personality and is seen as one of the most recognized radio and TV Spanish voices in the United States. He still does a lot of major commercial voiceover work.
