#1 A commentator
Trending
With the departure of Mauro Ranallo confirmed, SmackDown now finds itself without a main play-by-play commentator. The commentary team now consists of veteran JBL, relative newcomer Byron Saxton, and complete newcomer Tom Phillips. While JBL’s the most experienced commentator, his job is clearly that of ‘color’ commentator instead of ‘lead’ commentator. SmackDown needs someone to fill Ranallo’s shoes, and Kidd might be the right person for the job.

Like JBL, Kidd would be able to provide useful insight into the in-ring action given his time as a wrestler. He’d also bring an air of seriousness to his commentating, given his straightforward wrestling style and pragmatic approach to storylines.
Kidd has the possibility of being a hybrid between what Mauro Ranallo was and what Vince and company want in a lead commentator. As long as he straddles the line between professional commentator and wrestling fan carefully, he could actually succeed in this role.
