Beginning Aug. 7, Michael Cole and Wade Barrett will serve as the commentators for “Monday Night Raw” on USA Network. This marks a return to “Raw” for Cole, who first appeared on the show in 1997 and has served as one of the key members of the broadcast desk for various stretches of time ever since.

It will be Barrett’s first time doing commentary for “Raw.” In addition to his in-ring career, Barrett was previously a commentator for WWE’s NXT before moving to “Friday Night SmackDown” on Fox in late 2022.


Cole will also remain on the commentary team for “SmackDown,” where he will be joined by Kevin Patrick and Corey Graves beginning Aug. 11.


Patrick and Graves are moving from “Raw” to “SmackDown.” According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, WWE remains high on Patrick and think that pairing him with Cole will only benefit his growth as a broadcaster. Cole has been with WWE for more than 25 years. Per WWE, he has only missed two shows in that time.

She did everything in NXT. No way they bring her back to put her there again.
She's going to get immediately lost in the shuffle on the main roster unless they have Rhea drop the title to someone prior to her debut or they actually write an engaging angle for someone Asian with limited mic skills for an American audience. We've seen that like 5 times in the history of the company, so I'm not hopeful.

Since that episode of Impact I never thought they'd actually let Booker do commentary but here we are :heh:
