Commentary is an integral part of WWE, not merely confined to calling out in-ring matches but also contributing an additional layer to the ongoing storylines. In recent weeks, the WWE Universe witnessed a notable shake-up in the commentary teams for both Raw and SmackDown. One significant change involved Corey Graves in his role on the Blue brand commentary team. Triple H has since congratulated him and commended his work.

Corey Graves was recently appointed as the lead commentator for Smackdown. He couldn’t contain his excitement and nerves as he took to X to share his feelings before the monumental event. Expressing both enthusiasm and jitters, Graves anticipated the responsibility that came with leading the commentary team.

Later, Triple H acknowledged Graves’ commendable performance. He reposted the 39-year-old’s message on X and expressed his admiration for how well he, along with Wade Barrett, called out the action. Hunter likened Corey’s achievement to conquering a mountain. This public acknowledgment from Triple H reflects the industry’s recognition of Graves’ contribution to the storytelling aspect of WWE broadcasts.

The recent shake-up in the WWE commentary teams was prompted by the release of Kevin Patrick, creating a domino effect in the broadcasting landscape. In the aftermath of this departure, the seasoned Michael Cole found himself relocating to Raw. This significant shift in personnel resulted in Corey Graves assuming the pivotal role of lead commentator for Smackdown.

Furthermore, in the wake of the commentary reshuffle, Triple H extended his congratulations to the new Raw commentator, Pat McAfee. Recognizing McAfee’s addition to the Raw commentary team, The Game praised his contribution and welcomed him to the high-stakes world of WWE broadcasting.

Adding to the excitement, Pat McAfee made a memorable return to the WWE scene during the Royal Rumble, not just as a commentator but as an active participant in the Men’s Royal Rumble match. However, McAfee comically eliminated himself from the Rumble match.

Pat McAfee has teamed up with Michael Cole for a dynamic Raw commentary duo, blending experience with energetic charisma. In this new partnership, Cole, with his wealth of experience, will take on the role of lead commentator. Meanwhile, McAfee’s energetic and charismatic style will serve as the perfect complement, adding a burst of enthusiasm and color commentary to the mix.
