Ahead of this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw, an update has surfaced regarding the upcoming debut of a new WWE addition.
In July, it was officially confirmed that former ESPN star Joe Tessitore would be joining the WWE commentary team.
Starting September 2, the new Raw announcer team will consist of Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett.
Ahead of Tessitore’s first night behind the Raw commentary desk, WrestleVotes reported on Twitter that many within WWE were “hot” for the former ESPN name’s WWE Raw debut.
WrestleVotes noted that he is expected to work closely with Michael Cole early in his WWE career, writing:
Many within WWE, especially on the production side, are excited for Joe Tessitore’s debut tonight on RAW.
A proven sports reporter with years of experience, including Monday Night Football, Top Rank Boxing and multiple BCS Bowl games, Tessitore brings the professional tone WWE was looking for.
He will work closely with Michael Cole, a strong supporter of Tessitore, in the initial phase.
Tessitore is not expected to work with Cole on-screen, as Cole is now part of the SmackDown announce team, so it looks like Cole will serve as a mentor to Tessitore off-camera.
A big name in WWE has commented on Tessitore’s upcoming Raw debut. You can read more about it here.
