Welcome to the announce team...

Tom Phillips!

Via WWE.com:

SmackDown LIVE has a new addition to its announce team: Tom Phillips. The announcer joins play-by-play commentators Mauro Ranallo and David Otunga, and color commentator JBL, giving Team Blue a four-man booth every Tuesday night at 8/7 C on USA Network.

Phillips made his WWE debut in 2012 on NXT, where he announced NXT ArRIVAL, WWE Network’s first live, in-ring broadcast.

Fear not, NXT Universe, in addition to joining SmackDown LIVE, Phillips will still call the action on WWE NXT every week.

I'm pleased with this. Wish they'd ditched Otunga and JBL, though.

Also, good to know he'll still be calling the action in NXT.

a 4 person commentary team? Is that really necessarily? At all? They could have at-least got rid of Otunga! Happy for Tom though, he is good but with 3 other people on the announce table including JBL? Don't think this will turn out well.

that's the thing that SD lacked! we have broken the system!

On a real there's no point in a 4-man announce team, especially with JBL and Mauro talking a lot anyways and Otunga always feeling the need to jump in and bring his ''words of wisdom'' so I'm not sure how Tom will help besides that he'll get fucked with by JBL like Cole used to be probably

So they bring in "Billy No Mates" Tom Philllips but keep JBL & Otunga...
I don't see this working out...

Just ditch JBL...he's awful...he makes so many errors and says some
really dumb shit...IT'S JOHN O'CLOCK!!1!

I actually don't mind Otunga...at least he's not as bad as JBL...

I guess it could be worse...we could have JBL, Michael Cole & Booker T...
Ugh...just the thought of that makes me feel sick.
