WWE recently reshuffled their announce teams, with Michael Cole calling both Raw and SmackDown going forward. Cole will be joined on Monday nights by Wade Barrett, while Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick will provide additional announcing for the blue brand.
Speaking about the commentary changes during a recent edition of his The Hall of Fame podcast, NXT announcer Booker T expressed his desire for broadcast partner Vic Joseph to get another shot on the main roster.
"[Michael] Cole ain't never gonna be able to retire [laughs], he can forget about it. It's hard finding the next Michael Cole, too. But I'm glad in a lot of ways, but I'm perplexed in certain ways, just because I'm waiting on Vic to get a shot. I'm waiting on Vic Joseph to get a piece of the action, champagne wishes, caviar dreams and all that. But I do understand the wanting to have Michael Cole as a part of both brands. I do see that. I do know Michael Cole wants to wind down a little bit as well.
"So I don't know how long this thing is gonna last or anything like that, but one thing I do know about Michael Cole, he's a player, he's a team player, he's a soldier. Wherever he's needed, he's gonna step up to the plate and take care of that job. Everything's good. So yeah, I'm glad, like I said. As well as the NXT commentary team, Vic and I, we still together. I like that, but like I said, I'm waiting on Vic to get his come-up. But I'm wondering if Vic moves up, who's gonna move into that spot as well? Because I just can't work with anybody," Booker said.
Joseph has been on NXT since August 2020, following a brief stint on the main roster the previous year.
