What are the new broadcast lineups?

WWE announced that there are changes being made to the announcing lineups for the flagship shows.

Following the change from this past Monday’s Raw, Booker T joins the announce team on a permanent basis, replacing Jerry Lawler.

Thursday Night Smackdown will feature Michael Cole, but now with Jerry “The King” Lawler and Byron Saxton. JBL, who had been announcing Smackdown as well, will still on Raw. Tom Phillips is apparently being dropped from Smackdown as well.

The PPV announce team will continue to be Cole with JBL and Lawler on color commentary for the time being.
