If you're a Jerry Lawler fan then the news that he wasn't drafted on either of the Raw or SmackDown broadcast teams may have come as big disappointment, especially after all his years of service to WWE broadcast announcing.
The new announce team for Raw will consist of Michael Cole, Byron Saxton, and Corey Graves, while the new SmackDown Live announce team will be made up of Mauro Ranallo, John "Bradshaw" Layfield, and David Otunga.
Despite being removed from the Smackdown commentary team, Jerry Lawler is still going to have an announcing role on WWE programming. This from WWE:
"In addition to the commentary booth updates on Raw, SmackDown Live and more, WWE Hall of Famers Booker T and Jerry “The King” Lawler will bring their decades of experience in sports-entertainment to recurring Pre-Shows and Kickoffs as key analysts, among other names still to be announced."
