12/23/2025

PWInsider.com is reporting in an exclusive story that the Raw and Smackdown commentary teams will swap come January.

Michael Cole and Corey Graves will be moving to Netflix and Raw while Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett will go the opposite direction and back to Smackdown.

Cole and Graves started doing Smackdown in September to allow Tessitore to do Raw while he was still on college football duties during the weekend.

The change will take effect with the January 2 Smackdown and the January 5 Raw. Smackdown will be moving to three hours on that day as well.
