From the start of January, the Raw team will go back to Michael Cole and Pat McAfee

“Beginning Monday, Sept. 2, “Raw” on USA Network will feature Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett. Tessitore, a veteran play-by-play announcer for ESPN, announced his alignment with WWE in July. Starting Friday, Sept. 13, with its move from Fox to USA Network, “SmackDown” will feature Michael Cole and Corey Graves.

“Raw” will move to Netflix in January under WWE’s 10-year, $5B media rights deal, replacing USA Network, which has carried the program since 2005. Pat McAfee, who had been calling “Raw” episodes, recently announced his decision to shift his focus to college football, including as an analyst on ESPN’s “College GameDay.” However, McAfee plans to reunite with Cole on “Raw” once it moves to Netflix.”
