2. New Day On Commentary

Michael Cole and Corey Graves are a decent double act on commentary these days. They've got chemistry, and they're always prepared to spew the lines Vince McMahon wants his audience to hear. The problem is this: Graves and Cole come across as too formulaic sometimes. They rarely lose their inhibitions and go wild.

It's a New Day (behind the commentary desk), yes it is.

Both Kofi Kingston and Big E helped the four-way elimination tag match along with their energy and touches of comedy. They picked their spots too; when the moment called for it, E and Kofi were willing to put every single tag-team in the match over, highlight their strengths and then bring it all back to Cole and Graves.

They were a blessing on the show, and it was nice to hear their insight at times. New Day managed to bring the best out of the usual announce team. They shouldn't be there every week, but they should be considered for more cameos like this.
