3. Big Change To SmackDown Coming, Becoming A Mix of Raw & NXT?
As we noted before, Mauro Ranallo, was named the new voice of SmackDown. During a recent interview with Bleacher Report, he talked about the changes that might come to SmackDown when they move to USA Network in 2016:
“I get the sense they want to make it kind of a hybrid between Raw, the flagship show with all the storylines and great performances from our Superstars in the ring, and what’s happening in NXT. That’s really been a phenomenon, and I’m a huge proponent of that style of storytelling.
I think if SmackDown can become a hybrid of the two, we’ll have a winning formula regardless of who’s on the microphone. But since it’s going to be me, I love that it’s playing to my strengths. I think they want to set us all up to succeed.”
