4. Get Rid Of Jerry Lawler And Byron Saxton To Bring In Corey Graves
I've got to commend Jerry Lawler for his performances on SmackDown recently, he's done a great job at going heel and re-inventing himself. But in order to really make SmackDown an A show, I'm afraid it's time to let The King ride off into the sunset and call it a career. Maybe there's something they can have him do on the WWE Network and then bring him in for the Kick Off Panels for WWE pay-per-views, but in order to go in a new direction we have to say goodbye to The King. In addition, Byron Saxton has to leave the blue brand too, he's part of the 3 man announce team on RAW so he's doing just fine, he doesn't really need to be on SmackDown. Instead, the excellent Mauro Ranallo's commentating partner on SmackDown should be NXT's Corey Graves. After having to retire due to concussions, Graves has carved a niche for himself as a great heel commentator. His style along with Ranallo's play by play would be a great combination and hopefully the future main commentary team of WWE. By having a two man team commentating SmackDown, you're giving it another unique layer as opposed to the busy, cluttered 3 man announce team on Monday nights. Ranallo and Graves know their stuff and would relish the opportunity to hit a home run.
