So TP is off Smackdown? And Booker, who's not good, gets put on the live show? He needs to be on Smackdown where he can be edited.

Is this so he doesn't die on live tv again?

Several people have said that already. Guess WWE were really concerned about Lawler, yet he'll still be doing the PPVs/Network Specials.

Lawler for Booker is such a lateral move. Both are terrible.

I've never been a fan of Booker on commentary, but they desperately needed to change that commentary team.

Lawler's on Smackdown? Michael Cole still there, too? I would think they would let Lawler call it quits, but oddly enough, we just got some weird changes. Then again, WWE sent JR to Smackdown and subsequently took him out of the booth a few years later, so King might see the same fate.

I don't like Lawler, Cole, JBL, or Booker T on commentary. There is no win here.

I'd rather they turfed JBL instead.

Have Lawler fly in every month to NXT to do promo classes and just that PLEASE. He's one of my all time favourite wrestlers and I don't want to have to hate him anymore

I like it a lot. I do wish they had another good play by play so Cole wasn't on both shows. But Cole/JBL/Booker worked pretty well Monday, and Tom-bot Phillips is off Smackdown thank God.

Tom gets bullied for months and then is replaced.  |

Why not just have Saxton and Lawler. it might change things up and might make King do different stuff. Cole and King never really had chemistry.

Incredibly enough, we've already got a photo of Moderator RIC's reaction to the news.  |

Taking Lawler off Raw is admittedly a ballsy move. Like him or not, the guy has been one of the familiar voices of the show for the past 15 or so years.

The announce teams desperately needed an overhaul, and when they get it, it still remains crap! Lol
• Booker was and is just awful, and certainly shouldn't be doing a live show
• Still too much Cole. There's no reason for him to do Smackdown, and ideally I'd just be rid of him all together.
• I thought Tom Phillips was generally doing a good job (especially having to deal with Cole and JBL) and now he's gone.
Well, at least JBL is off Smackdown. King is such a non entity these days the show change doesn't really matter, and the taped show might actually help him. Byron Saxton has been pretty decent on Main Event so hopefully we get that version on Smackdown.
I'd worry if I were Tom Phillips now. In the current climate of WWE he's pretty dispensable now; he had a shot, it didn't last, and there's plenty of people to replace him.
