WWE Sets New Commentary Teams for ‘Raw,’ ‘SmackDown,’ ‘NXT’ (EXCLUSIVE)

[Comrade Khan]

so maybe he will justt go back down to nxt and Booker is a stop gap.

Still no excuse for Nigel being stuck on Level Up only lol

 

[John McHenry]

All for Barrett. I hope to god that Kevin Patrick is decent or he'll be flamed to hell. Feel bad for Saxton, but I also don't think 3 mans are needed.

 

[Chris]

Kinda sad he didn't get to call the Fight Pit before he left though. Dude crazy overperformed expectations from being thrown into the fire like crazy bc Vince was weird

 

[Dale]

Yeah I didn't mind that dude in all honesty, he wasn't great or anything but I certainly didn't find him offensive to listen to or anything.

Very curious what they do with Wade though, whether he stays as a 3 when Pat comes back or he basically goes up and down as of Pat's availability.

 

[Hoss]

Booker on NXT sounds dreadful

Seems like they like 2 man booths so I'm thinking he goes back down, they could shuffle more in the coming months if Kevin Patrick is poorly received as well tbh

 

[The Gipper]

Jimmy Smith was the most forgettable WWE Commentator so I'm unaffected by this. Wish him the best.

Yeah especially since the PLE booths are just Cole & Graves, though that best change when Pat comes back

I got tired of listening to Jimmy Smith. He just didn't sound authentic after awhile...and then for Graves and Saxton to squabble over things constantly while ignoring what happens in the ring... the RAW commentary team was bad. I generally like Graves. He is fine with Cole... but man.... that extra nonsense that involved him got old.

Cool that Cathy Kelley is back. Hopefully Kevin Patrick is good on commentary and I am glad that RAW is back to a 2 man commentary team. Graves will probably help Patrick out a lot. Nigel does need to be used somewhere else (like on NXT instead of Booker T) than just Level Up and I hope that they have a plan for McAfee for when College football is over.

Pat will 100% slide back in on SmackDown, don't you worry about that.

I do kinda worry about Graves though, I really hope he just plays it neutral and doesn't end up doing that bully shit towards the new guy because that would suck even worse than when he did it on the 3man.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Booty Cathy is back

 

[Dale]

The only Undisputed Era member to make it to the main roster

 

[Order]

So sounds like Wade is filling in and then he will replace Booker back on NXT which will be much-need. Can't believe they're using Booker even temporarily.

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Booker on NXT holy fuck why
