#2 NEW ANNOUNCERS
The combination of Michael Cole, JBL and Byron Saxton was stale. JBL seemed a bit ticked off at times and the banter between him and Saxton was more high school than anything else.
Corey Graves comes in and instantly there is magic. When announcers mesh like that and play off each other during a match, there is something special.

Graves is so underrated and this combination – with Cole still the lead voice, will make Saxton even better. What WWE has also done is give the fans a chance to feel more like they are being told a story rather than seeing three stiff bodies at ringside.
The idea of seeing them more animated is a new feature we all can get behind, and they seem to be charged with interviewing Superstars before and after a match as well.
Given that JBL has moved over to Smackdown, the combination of the former wrestler and Mauro Ranallo should give Smackdown a serious boost as well. Don’t sleep on David Otunga either. The trio meshed well and should be solid over the long haul.
Honestly, I could listen to Ranallo read the telephone book and it would sound exciting.
