As a passionate fan, I transitioned from commentating on SmackDown to NXT after the debut of RAW on Netflix last week. This new collaboration between the leading wrestling organization, WWE, and the global streaming service, Netflix, signifies an exciting new chapter in my career and the world of professional wrestling.
In the Inuit Dome, Los Angeles, California, was where the initial showing of RAW by WWE on Netflix took place. Their objective was to stir up anticipation for their Netflix debut, and they certainly achieved it. The program attracted a global viewership of 4.9 million, with 2.6 million households in the U.S. tuning in.
Last week in the United States, the program secured the leading position as Netflix’s most-watched TV series. The collaboration between WWE and Netflix turned out to be a hit, attracting large viewership and notable celebrities.
Prior to the Netflix debut, promotional efforts made a series of adjustments across their three shows. For instance, WWE commentator Corey Graves teamed up with Michael Cole on SmackDown, while Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett handled RAW, and Vic Joseph and Booker T were assigned to NXT.
The WWE has revamped their commentary crews for all three of their shows prior to the Netflix debut. Pat McAfee is back on RAW, partnering with Michael Cole in commentary, while Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett switched over to SmackDown. Previously on SmackDown, Corey Graves has now moved to the NXT commentary team, joining Vic Joseph and Booker T. However, it appears that Graves is less than thrilled with his new role.
Corey Graves voices frustration over WWE’s commentary changes
Commentator Corey Graves voiced his displeasure on platform X after the alterations in the NXT commentary team. He articulated his emotions, stating that it felt like striving for a goal, just to be informed that he was no longer permitted to continue pursuing it. Graves expressed disappointment as he felt he wasn’t well-known enough to retain his position.
Picture yourself pursuing your heart’s desire.
Later on, finding out that due to circumstances beyond your control, you can no longer actively chase this dream.
You instead channel your energy into a related field and excel spectacularly in it.
And when the moment arrives for you to reap the rewards of your hard work,…

The transformations in WWE aren’t confined solely to the commentator positions. Previously known ring announcers Lilian Garcia and Alicia Taylor have even switched their duties. Now, Lilian Garcia can be found on SmackDown, whereas Alicia Taylor has transitioned to RAW.
