As you have probably heard by now, JBL is leaving the Smackdown Live announce team. JBL released a statement on Friday night, saying that he wants to focus more on his work with underprivileged kids. As a result, there is an open spot on the commentary team on Tuesday nights.
Please subscribe to my WWE Youtube channel to support me.
Two candidates that fans have been suggesting are Mauro Ranallo and Renee Young. Mauro previously worked on the Smackdown commentary team. Renee also previously did some commentary for NXT.
Both of them took to Twitter to shoot down ideas of them taking the job:

While I truly appreciate all of the support on this,I would just like to remind everyone that I was never very good at commentary for NXT ?? https://t.co/aQpysHDx6o
