WWE commentary gets a facelift for the New Era

It’s a New Era for the entire landscape of WWE, which continues to change and evolve with the WWE Brand Extension Draft. That includes the announce teams for WWE programming. The teams for Raw, SmackDown, "WWE Superstars" and WWE Main Event are all experiencing a major shakeup, including one major voice changing shows and several rising commentators being inserted into the lineup.

The new announce teams for WWE’s New Era will feature Michael Cole, Corey Graves and Byron Saxton Monday nights on Raw, while Mauro Ranallo, JBL and David Otunga handle the commentary for SmackDown Live every Tuesday night.

Also receiving a makeover will be the announce teams for WWE Superstars and WWE Main Event. Both shows will be led by Tom Phillips, and he will be joined each and every week by Graves on WWE Superstars and Otunga on WWE Main Event.
We're stuck with Michael Cole, but at least we have some fresh blood in Graves and Otunga.

Phillips and Otunga are solid on Main Event so I'm glad they're sticking to that and letting Otunga have a shot on SD too. He's slid into the announcing gig well and anything that keeps him out of the ring is a bonus.

I haven't seen a whole lot of Main Event, but Otunga has a certain presence that does fit well on the commentary table.

Slowly phasing him out I guess

A shame too cause his heel run on Smackdown was the most I enjoyed him in a while
