This almost feels like a tangent, but let's go with it.

Has anyone else noticed how much Byron Saxton has improved as a colour man since this whole 'KofiMania' crusade started? He's been better than both Tom Phillips and Corey Graves at selling the injustices thrown at New Day, and he even left his seat towards the end of the show to congratulate the group.

This just goes to show that a three-person announce dynamic can work if there are stories to serve each member of the team. Graves is the heel, Phillips is the strait-laced play-by-play man and Saxton wants to see the faces do well. Simple.
