As of this week, Tom Phillips will be officially replacing Vic Joseph as the lead announcer of the Monday Night Raw brand, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

That is why Joseph is not on the Royal Rumble PPV.

We are told Vic Joseph is still with WWE and the decision was made within the last week.

Honestly, as it should have been from the start. Nothing against Joseph, but Phillips is better.

Glad Phillips is back, he is the only guy on the whole announce team who can speak WWE lingo and somehow not make me want to blow my eardrums out. No idea why they shipped him off to the UK in the first place.

Phillips has really had an interesting career with the company over the years. He showed up and was a good hand but then they started to groom him as the "next Michael Cole" aka the lead guy on Raw. Afterwards he was somehow looked over compared to his peers but now he's back in that role he should have had years ago.

Great for him. I'm sure he'll do well. Not that Joseph is bad, he's dope too.

Phillips is good. Raw just got better. Though we’ll see how he does with an insane man screaming in his ear for three hours every week.

He's miles better than Vic so definitely a good move. Though it does say to how poorly this company plans shit out that under four months after big rebranding of the show they've already dropped two of the new commentators introduced then.

Now get rid of Lawler already.

[Perd]

Vic was really bad. But I do think he got a raw deal being saddled with Lawler.

Jeez, making puns even when I don’t intend to. 

[ayumidah]

Good.


... does this mean Vic goes back to 205

Should've been the Raw PBP guy from the very start. I like Vic's work on 205 Live and NXT UK, but he wasn't ready for this spot.

Even Tom might have a difficult time working with Lawler, who has sucked since 2000, though.

I enjoyed your match with Asuka tonight.

Should have been Corey and Tom as a team and Cole/Saxton on another

[Hypnosis]

I laughed when Phillips said "Who's stupid now?!" after Kofi defeated Orton at Clash of Champions back in September.

Now just get Lawler out of commentary.

[xCompackx]

Happy with it as I've always been a fan of Tom Phillips on commentary.

But yeah, Lawler needs to go. He was great with JR, but dude sucks without him.

Are you talking about Vince or Lawler or both???

[Bang Bang Bart]

I kinda expect Byron to replace King sometime soon, so we have 2/3 of the Smackdown Live commentators.

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

It was done with pride and Momentum
