If Raw proved one thing, it's that Dio Maddin needs a bit more experience calling WWE's product before he'll be a true credit to the broadcast booth. There's only one way to do that, and that's by putting him behind the desk as much as possible. Ideally, that'll start at HIAC this weekend.

WWE are either going to revert to brand-specific pay-per-views in the long run after the Draft or produce "supershows" that incorporate Raw, SmackDown, 205 Live and maybe a splash of NXT occasionally. Irrespective of which direction they take, they need to let these new announce crews call as much action as they can.

That's less important for Michael Cole and Corey Graves on the blue brand; they've got a bit more chemistry already.

At HIAC, Vic Joseph, Jerry Lawler and Dio Maddin should call the matches deemed Raw bouts, and the Cole/Graves duo should handle all SmackDown duties. Simple as that.
