As we noted earlier on the site, Corey Graves will be joining Tom Phillips and Byron Saxton on the SmackDown Live announcing team. Graves is replacing JBL the team. Graves will be leaving the announce team for 205 Live and Main Event. Nigel McGuinness, who is already announcing the NXT broadcasts, will be replacing Graves on those series.
Graves took to Twitter to clear up any confusion about his status on Monday Night Raw. He wrote the following:
“Just to clear up any confusion, I’m NOT leaving #RAW. I’m joining #SDLive too! Hey @ShinsukeN, get that knee ready!”
Just to clear up any confusion, I'm NOT leaving #RAW. I'm joining #SDLive too!
Hey @ShinsukeN, get that knee ready!
