News broke on Friday that JBL would be stepping down from his role on the Smackdown Live announce team. It was unclear if WWE would be bringing in a replacement for him or trying a 2-man booth with Tom Phillips and Byron Saxton.

WWE confirmed that there would be a third man in the booth on Tuesday nights. As a result, both the Smackdown and 205 Live commentary teams are changing.
Corey Graves will be taking the spot of JBL on Tuesday nights. This will be alongside Saxton and Phillips. Nigel McGuinness from NXT will be taking over the job of Graves on 205 Live and WWE Main Event.
BREAKING: @WWEGraves will take over for @JCLayfield on #SDLive starting tomorrow; @McGuinnessNigel will step in for #205Live and #MainEvent!

For those wondering, it looks like Graves will still be working RAW as well.
