As previously reported, WWE will be adjusting its broadcast teams early next year. Michael Cole and Corey Graves will return to Monday Night RAW, while Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett will take over the broadcast desk for Friday Night SmackDown.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, additional changes to the commentary teams may be forthcoming because Tessitore is concluding his other NCAA college football commitments. WWE sources have indicated to the publication that Tessitore will have other ongoing broadcast responsibilities, and the company will make adjustments to the teams as necessary.
Tessitore joined WWE as a play-by-play broadcaster in the summer of 2024. When he was signed, it was announced that he would continue his work with ABC and ESPN, where he covers college football and Top Rank boxing.
