NFL Rumors: Rachel Nichols set to join Skip Bayless and Richard Sherman on FS1’s Undisputed

As Skip Bayless gears up for a newly revamped version of Undisputed, he will be joined by a couple of new faces. It was revealed that Lil Wayne will be frequently part of the show moving forward, and later Richard Sherman was announced as the replacement for Shannon Sharpe.

Now it is being reported by Sports Business Journal that former ESPN sportscaster Rachel Nichols will be a part of the show. It is a huge career revival for Nichols who was let go by ESPN following her remarks about Malika Andrews.

When will Undisputed return?

Undisputed is set to return on August 28th after a very long break. The show hasn't aired since Shannon Sharpe left following the NBA finals.

Many people have called out Skip Bayless in recent months for spoiling the show. However, with the new additions that Bayless has made with Fox, it seems like the show is going nowhere.

Richard Sherman is a rising star in the media industry and many fans are excited to see him sitting across Bayless. Moreover, there could be a few more surprising faces added to the mix in the coming months.

FOX can capitalize on ESPN's recent dismissal of a number of outstanding analysts in order to maintain the high quality of its most popular show.

Richard Sherman won't be a permanent member of Undisputed

As per reports, Richard Sherman will only be a part of 50-100 shows per year and will be heavily involved during football season. Since the show runs all year long, they might have to bring a few more people to cover the NBA.

The addition of Rachel Nichols is a step in the correct direction, but if FOX wants to compete with ESPN's First Take, they must go all out and recruit the most talented individuals.

Shannon Sharpe is expected to join ESPN soon which will certainly boost their ratings, and it will be interesting to see how many more tricks Skip Bayless has under his sleeve.
