7. Your WWE Broadcast Booth Of Renee Young, Byron Saxton And Corey Graves
By 2020, do expect that 50 year old Michael Cole could be shifted backstage into a creative role. As well, Jerry Lawler will be 70, too. As for the revolving circus that is Booker T (should be a trainer in NXT by 2020) and nondescript talking heads in suits, I'd expect them to all have gone the way of Todd Pettengill and Mike Adamle. WWE having a woman as one of their lead announce voices makes sense. Renee Young being that woman makes even more sense as she's already proven to be capable and believable as a broadcaster. Corey Graves is a mainstream superstar in the making, and Byron Saxton evolving into a Michael Cole-style lead announcer is an evolution that's already happening. A black guy, a woman and a heavily-tattooed ex-wrestler as the Raw announce booth? Would you believe it as much as if I told you an overweight ex-territory referee and office guy with a heavy southern accent and a man who wears a crown on his head and beat up a comedian once announced the show? Exactly.
