5 Reasons Monday Night Raw is beating SmackDown Live

Finn Balor is one of the new faces of Monday Night Raw.
Corey Graves helps make the Raw announce team even better.

3: Better announce team

Essentially, WWE traded Corey Graves for JBL, but the fact there is a disconnection between the former World Champion and David Otunga is hurting Smackdown Live’s product. I could listen to Mauro Ranallo read the phone book and it would be excitingbut the other two on the team bring nothing to the table and are holding Ranallo down.

The connection between Graves, Michael Cole and Byron Saxton has been crisp and exciting. Saxton seems to be more comfortable in front of the camera and the back-and-forth between he and Graves seems more natural.

Whoever thought of this change should get a huge raise. If this was the only thing different from the brand split, it is well worth it.
