WWE fans will find out the next destination of every Superstar when the roster draft takes place across two nights on the October 11 episode of SmackDown and the October 14 episode of RAW.

As for the announce teams, it has already been confirmed that Michael Cole and Corey Graves will be on commentary on SmackDown, while Vic Joseph, Dio Maddin and Jerry “The King” Lawler will call the action on Monday nights.

Speaking on his new The Jerry Lawler Show podcast, Lawler revealed that he did not have any communication with Vince McMahon during the latest episode of RAW.

At the end of the show, the WWE Chairman then spoke through Lawler’s headset and congratulated all three announcers for doing an “awesome” job.

“The first time I heard from Vince all night long was – bang - all of sudden right at the end of the show, I could hear the mic cut in and all of a sudden, there was Vince and he said, ‘You guys had an awesome show tonight. Everyone was awesome. Thank you very much.’” [H/T PW Insider for providing the quotes]
