Smackdown goes LIVE tonight as well as the WWE Draft! Superstars will be chosen for both RAW and Smackdown brands in the WWE Draft. But what about announcers? Who will be the announce crews for RAW and Smackdown? Will they stay the same or will announcers be draft eligible? Thanks to some tweets from Mauro Ranallo, we have some hints to some of these questions.
Please subscribe to my WWE Youtube channel to support me.
Mauro announced on Twitter that he will be joined by Michael Cole, Jerry the King Lawler and Byron Saxton tonight for the draft:
8pm #SmackDownLive on @USA_Network Join @JerryLawler @ByronSaxton #RAW representative @MichaelCole & me for the #BrandExtensionDraft

He mentions that Cole is the ‘RAW’ representative.
Mauro also tweets to a fan that he should tune in every Tuesday:
You should watch every Tuesday! ? https://t.co/0MBbWRRvx7

From these tweets I think we are going to see Mauro, Jerry the King and Byron as the Smackdown guys.
It also could mean Michael Cole, JBL and someone new will be the ones doing RAW. It could be Saxton going back and forth but that seems unlikely.

Make sure to join our LIVE Chat and coverage for the WWE Draft tonight!! Should be a lot of fun!!!
Saxton has been the all-around guy for WWE for the past year; almost present on RAW, SmackDown, PPV/specials, & even NXT.
I thought he was groomed to be the future version of Maggle only to have Mauro brought for SmackDown which is good one way or another.
