As previously reported, WWE has changed up their announce teams with Jerry Lawler moved to SmackDown in exchange for Booker T. The previous reports that the move is one that WWE has been considering for a while have been confirmed, but they were unable to do so after he suffered his heart attack.

WWE is following the same pattern that they did with Jim Ross and a source notes that the move was “inevitable” because Lawler is sixty-five and the company is very age conscious when it comes to their on-camera talent for RAW. The SmackDown move to Thursday made for a good opportunity to pull the switch.

As reported, Lawler will still be calling PPVs with JBL and Michael Cole.
