Just a few days ago reports broke out that former Denver Broncos tight end Shannon Sharpe is expected to join ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith show First Take as a guest personality. And now, Shannon’s former verbal sparring partner Skip Bayless has seemingly found his new partners for the newly renewed Fox Sports show Undisputed as per Offers.bet.

According to John Ourand of the Sports Business Journal, the former ESPN personality Keyshawn Johnson is set to join Undisputed as a co-host along with the Dallas Cowboys legend Michael Irvin. Per reports, Irvin has had talks with Fox Network for some time before reaching an agreement on Monday.

Charlie Dixon, vice president of content on Fox Sports 1, recently revealed that the show Undisputed is shifting away from its “Embrace Debate” policy. “We focus more on the chemistry and the availability of agreeing with people versus trying to find inflection points where people have a variance of opinions,” Dixon said according to the Sports Business Journal.

Furthermore, the new look Undisputed will have a roster of people that will be joining the show regularly opposite Bayless. The roster includes some newcomers to the network, such as Richard Sherman, Keyshawn Johnson, and Michael Irvin.

Besides, the show is also expected to have guest appearances from some of the network’s familiar faces, Nick Wright and Emmanuel Acho. Apart from all these people, the Hip-Hop legend Lil Wayne is also expected to have guest appearances on the show on Fridays.

The renowned sports talk show host Skip Bayless is excited about the premiere of the new season of his Undisputed. He shared a post on his social media account, revealing his new team.

“RICHARD SHERMAN! KEYSHAWN JOHNSON! MICHAEL IRVIN! NEW DREAM TEAM ON THE NEW UNDISPUTED. NEW LIL WAYNE INTRO SONG, “GOOD MORNING.” NEXT MONDAY. AUGUST 28. 9:30 E, FS1. BE THERE,” Bayless posted on the social media platform X.

As Bayless mentioned, Undisputed will be back on August 28 on Fox Network just in time for the start of the football season. The show was off-air for a few weeks after Sharpe left the network back in June. The network was trying to recruit people to replace Shannon Sharpe and now they have found three people to take on Bayless in debates.

There were also rumors suggesting that the former ESPN sideline reporter Rachel Nichols will also be joining Undisputed, but there is no official news regarding that yet. Nonetheless, Undisputed will be back on air in a few days and fans are excited to see the new version of the famous sports debate show.
