Who might eventually replace Michael Cole?

It’s unknown if or when Michael Cole will be leaving the commentary table in WWE, but it seems the company has been making preparations for when that day comes. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio says that WWE has been working on his eventual move to a different role with the company.

He said: “Probably not that long, honestly. That’s why they’re hiring so many announcers to… I guess Tom Phillips will probably get the job, so then people — I don’t want to say they’ll wish for Michael Cole, but they probably wouldn’t like Tom Phillips in that spot either.“
