As many fans should know, both RAW and Smackdown Live have separate announce crews. Corey Graves, Byron Saxton and Michael Cole call RAW each week. Mauro Ranallo, JBL, David Otunga and Tom Phillips call Smackdown Live. Some wrestling fans had been asking which crew would be calling the action for the 2017 Royal Rumble match.

On this weeks episode of Talking Smack, it was announced that Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler will be calling the Royal Rumble match. He will be joined by Michael Cole and Corey Graves:

Not a bad crew! Some interesting choices though as there is no Smackdown representative. Happy to see Graves get a chance as he has been incredible so far in his announcing career. WWE must have a lot of faith in him to put him in instead of Mauro or JBL.
Let us know what you think of the announce crew for the 2017 Royal Rumble match!
