They're grooming Saxton to be a pbp guy instead of color.
I believe William Regal is the best choice to do color on Raw

Peace and love...to all!!
I just realized something. If Lawler is truly out, then Cole is the last link we have left to the Attitude era in terms of commentary. He's the only regular, experienced WWE commentator we have that's consistently been in our ears for over a decade.
Lawler seems to be out...possibly for good for all we know. JR, as great as he still is, is no longer a regular on commentary, and that seems to be by choice for the most part.
I'm thinking WWE is now pretty much forced to produce at least one permanent new star commentator, and not just use part-time ones who we see every now and again, who seem like they're 'filling in'. I'm sorry, I know there are fans of Josh Matthews and Matt Striker (and even Todd Grisham), but let's be honest: none of those guys ever seemed like they were 'mainstay' commentators, like they really connected with the fans the way JR and Lawler did, as well as past legends like Heenan and Monsoon.
Notice that I didn't mention Cole there.
As much as I defend Cole, I'll admit that I never got the feeling that people saw him as anything even close to legendary or respected, even though he spent so much time in the company. That's pretty bad....and I don't think his recent annoying heel run has made things any better.
If Cole is gonna be the 'main' voice of the WWE (especially on Raw) then he either needs to step his image up as a respectable, experienced face play-by-play guy, or he needs someone good to continue to play off of. Possibly both. He was great and truly underrated with Tazz and JBL, as a face play-by-play guy. Hopefully they can find a great heel color man to bring the best out of him again. Hell, they might even need to get JBL back. Even Coach would have been great to play heel to his face, if he wasn't with ESPN.
Whoever they choose, they really should take them seriously and have them at the desk for the long haul. Like it or not, Heenan and Monsoon are out. JR and King are on their way out. We need new voices.

Though Regal is a great choice, my vote is for JBL. He's even expressed on Twitter he'd be might be interested in commentating again someday. If he's not to busy climbing mountains and chillin in Bermuda, I'd say go for it. And Cole and JBL had great chemistry together on Smackdown. Mainly JBL taking shyts on Cole whenever he got the chance

SWEEEEEEEEEETNESS!
Idk Regal's voice is mellow and low key and wouldnt mesh very well with how rapid and fast paced Raw generally is Regal would be brilliant on smackdown. They need to hit up the homie JBL but for some reason I have a feeling theyll call Foley on this one.
LOL@Cole being the last link
RIP Attitude Era because he was getting booed out even back then. It's no wonder he rides for a nobody like Cena like he how he does. He relates to that foolishness.

For commentary it should be Regal, Stryker, and Matthews.
