7 Ups And 5 Downs For WWE Raw Superstar Shakeup

1. Announcers Squabble

Whatever is going on between the three Raw announcers, it has to stop. Now.

Michael Cole, Corey Graves and Jonathan Coachman’s banter and bickering have reached levels that have transcended annoying and moved on to unbearable. Cole and Graves have ganged up on Coach since he returned to Raw, but Monday, they really laid into each other.

Coach asked if Finn Balor was projecting a jump to SmackDown because he was wearing blue, to which Cole snarkily answered that Balor always wears blue – which isn’t true. Then Coach talked about the five egos in the ring, and Cole tried to tie in the egos of Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Miz, who all were on the outside. Coach pointed out that fact, but Cole just insisted that “you just don’t get it.” What a jerk.

That says nothing about Graves’ constant putting down of Coach. But even Graves wasn’t immune, as he referenced the Bullet Club when he meant to say “Balor Club.” Ooops.

None of this is going to lead to a match; none of the announcers are going to get wrestlers to serve as their in-ring avatars. So why must they insist on this crap? It detracts from the product, and it’s just stupid.

Can we shake things up and trade all three of them to NXT? We’ll put up with Percy Watson’s strange outbursts if that means we get Mauro Ranallo and Nigel McGuinness.
